WEBVTT Kind: captions; Language: fi 1 00:00:00.730 --> 00:00:03.790 [♫ rhythmic theme music ♫] 2 00:00:18.490 --> 00:00:23.270 Over the next couple of minutes and with a few slides, I will explain the student 3 00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:31.230 life concept, which is a consistent framework we use to support the well-being and study skills of our students. 4 00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:34.990 This is an extremely important part of university life because 5 00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:37.710 well-being is the foundation of all. 6 00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:42.090 It's the foundation of academic studies, as it enables students 7 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:46.390 to learn efficiently and succeed in their studies. 8 00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:52.330 At the core of the universities' work are quality education and guidance as well as 9 00:00:52.330 --> 00:00:56.740 the services that support the students and their studies. 10 00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:59.880 We see students' well-being as a safety net. 11 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:04.950 And at the University of Jyväskylä, we call this net the Student Life Concept. 12 00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:12.530 For this net to be supportive, solid, safe and durable, each and every member of the university community 13 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:18.500 has their own role and responsibility in strengthening it. 14 00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:25.030 In this slide, you can see that the Student Life concept is based on our strategy for JYU to 15 00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:30.750 be the leading university in supporting students' well-being and study skills. 16 00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:35.310 The various actions under this concept are guided through a steering group, 17 00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.790 but importantly, also by a range of policy documents. 18 00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:44.090 These include Curriculum guidelines, Principles for quality guidance, 19 00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:49.150 Accessibility of Education, the Bullying and Harassment Plan and Intervention, and 20 00:01:49.150 --> 00:01:54.650 the Student Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Plan. 21 00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:57.840 In the next slide, I will present the three-step 22 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.190 model of our student well-being work. 23 00:02:01.190 --> 00:02:06.430 Before that, however, I want to emphasise that all this work for student well-being 24 00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:11.910 should be based on constantly monitoring, evaluating, and developing the model and 25 00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:17.550 various actions through research and feedback from students. 26 00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:22.110 In this three-step pyramid model of our well-being actions, 27 00:02:22.110 --> 00:02:26.210 the foundation level consists of the Student Life Daily. 28 00:02:26.210 --> 00:02:32.270 Here are a substantial number of actions that concern the whole student body. 29 00:02:32.270 --> 00:02:38.090 These include our JYU Start programme, through which we help each new student 30 00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:42.650 engage in the student community and their field of study. 31 00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:47.170 There are also study courses for well-being and the research-based 32 00:02:47.170 --> 00:02:51.410 online programmes, Student Compass and Skills Map. 33 00:02:51.410 --> 00:02:56.490 These provide information, materials and tools to support students in 34 00:02:56.490 --> 00:03:01.150 promoting their psychological well-being, handling stress and learning 35 00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:06.060 about their study styles and academic skills. 36 00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:10.300 The middle-level of the pyramid is the Student Life Help. 37 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:15.520 This level consists of actions and services available for all students, 38 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.960 but which most probably will not be used by all of them. 39 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.900 This part of our model is comprised, for example, of Goodies service. 40 00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:30.440 Goodies are members of the university community who provide low-threshold contact 41 00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:35.970 for students to discuss and receive support, or needed information. 42 00:03:35.970 --> 00:03:39.860 Student Life Help also includes individual or group-based 43 00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.250 support provided by well-being experts. 44 00:03:43.250 --> 00:03:49.310 These services are based on the well-being programme, Student Compass and Skills Map. 45 00:03:49.310 --> 00:03:55.830 The top of the pyramid, Student Life Plus, includes the most intensive forms of aid 46 00:03:55.830 --> 00:04:01.570 for those students who need individually tailored support. 47 00:04:01.570 --> 00:04:06.510 The Care and Reading Dogs programme is a special part of Student Life. 48 00:04:06.510 --> 00:04:11.310 As the only programme of its kind in Finland, we are very proud of it. 49 00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:14.450 The Care and Reading Dogs programme has proven to be 50 00:04:14.450 --> 00:04:18.030 extremely popular among our students. 51 00:04:18.030 --> 00:04:23.710 The Care and Reading Dogs are sweet, wise and trained to support our students 52 00:04:23.710 --> 00:04:28.490 in dealing with anxiety, stage fright or other issues. 53 00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:31.330 They also cheer the students up. 54 00:04:31.330 --> 00:04:34.910 And lighten their moods in the way only dogs can. 54 00:04:37.950 -->
