Failing forward – Sharing stories of failure
Are you tired of listening to never-ending-success-stories and feel like you might be the only one where things did not go as planned? We, humans, pay so much attention to the “winners” that we don’t know what to do when we’re part of “the rest”. Not all of us do our bachelors in three years, have a great time studying abroad and making new friends or succeed in other parts of what is called studying.
While reading these few sentences, did you recognize yourself and thought ‘This is so right! I have a story of a study-experience that not went to plan’. Do you wish you would have heard others around you expressing these same experiences? Now is your chance to help these others yourself.
In the beginning of February 2021, the ‘Failing forward’ event will be organized. During ‘Failing forward’, you or your fellow students share their personal study-stories. What would you say to yourself looking back? This event is about opening up on failures and helping to create a culture that celebrates trying instead of stigmatizing failure.
Interested in sharing your not-so-perfect but very relatable story? Sign up before 11th January 2021 and stop feeling ashamed about your own fiasco’s (or just have a fun event 😉)! More information will soon come your way.
