    14. Germany - Taking Stock and Envisioning the Future of Higher Education

    Since we started our podcast series in 2020, we've talked to students and student representatives from all over Europe about the present and future of higher education. With this final episode of “NextNormal – WeStudy@Home”, we want to look back and forward, to take stock of the past years, but also to formulate a vision for future higher education. For this, we have talked to Lilith Diringer and Paul Klär from Germany who both are and have been engaged in several student initiatives such as the DigitalChangeMaker initiative and fzs (freier zusammenschluss von student*innenschaften). While discussing the potentials and take-aways from digital teaching and learning approaches, we also come back to what higher education and learning are all about and ask: is if there actually still such a thing as "normal" higher education?

    13. The Netherlands - Student Wellbeing, Mental Health and International Students

    Since the first episode of "NextNormal", it has become very clear that student wellbeing and mental health are subjects that matter and that should be talked about - especially during this time of uncertainty, isolation and anxiety. Nina Ruijfrok and Antonia Vegt are both studying in The Netherlands and working at ISO, The Dutch National Students' Association - and they proposed to focus on mental health in this "NextNormal" episode, especially from a perspective of international students. What makes students and international students especially vulnerable when it comes to mental wellbeing, why is it so difficult to change the complex situation for the better - and, most importantly - how can we still try? Listen to Nina, Antonia and Laura discuss a more caring future of higher education in Europe. What is the “NextNormal” of European student life?

    One year of "NextNormal - WeStudy@Home" - many stories and ideas have been shared. For our twelfth episode, we've talked to Damir Solak, Jan Bavlovič and Lukáš Lang from Czech Republic, facilitated by SKRVS, the Student Chamber of the Council of HEIs in Czech Republic. Each one of them has studied under very different circumstances in the last year and experienced different ways of higher education teaching and learning which we want to discuss: from a teaching student, an Erasmus student and a PhD student working in health emergency services point of view.

    11. Spain - Physical, virtual, inclusive: Mobility concepts for the future

    With the eleventh episode of "NextNormal - WeStudy@Home", we've set a strong thematic focus to our conversation with Ángel Canal Alonso and Francesc Almentros Viladerrams from CREUP, the Public Universities' Students Union in Spain. In addition to insights into their Corona study experience, they provide us with some expertise on the subject of internationalisation and mobility. One might think that there hasn't been much international exchange and mobility happening in the last year - but there has! It just looks different than the classical Erasmus semesters we know best! Angel and Francesc share their mobility concepts for the future in order to create an even better higher education experience for all students. What is the “NextNormal” of European student life?

    This ninth episode of "NextNormal - WeStudy@Home" is the first one in 2021, a new year full of question marks, hopes and optimism, not only when it comes to higher education.
