Upcoming Support Meeting
Taking Care of Ourselves
-
- Mental well-being. Shock, disbelief or emotional overload are natural reactions. We encourage you to limit exposure to media coverage, especially to graphic videos circulating online, which can intensify distress.
- Mutual respect. When discussing the attack, please refrain from blaming individuals who recorded the incident. Many witnesses filmed the scene to preserve evidence, without fully grasping the brutality unfolding before them.
- Empathy toward staff. Lecturers and administrative employees are also deeply affected by these events. We kindly ask for understanding of their emotions and of any unusual reactions or temporary changes to class organisation.
