Theme: Work environment and health for students

Date: April 7

Time: 15.00-16.45

Location: Digitally via Zoom, link will be sent to those registered.

Registration is done via form.

The theme of the network meeting is the work environment and health of students. In working life, there is a lot of information available about the work environment and work environment work, and several training courses for, for example, safety representatives. But what does it look like for students? What rights do you have when it comes to the study environment, and how can you influence and contribute to better work environment work in YH education? Who is responsible for the work environment and health of students?

We are being visited by Sebastian Lagunas Rosén, Head of Social Policy at the Swedish National Union of Students (SFS), who has extensive experience working with students' work environment and health. Sebastian regularly holds training courses for student safety representatives (SSO) and has written The SSO Handbook. During his presentation, he will review work environment legislation and what it says about students' rights, psychosocial and physical work environment, and students' health and well-being.

After the lecture, there will be a discussion where we exchange experiences and reflect on how work environment issues are handled in your education programs. Are you as student representatives involved in What challenges or risks do you see related to the work environment and health for students at YH?

As usual, we end the network meeting with a more general discussion, where you participants can raise issues that are relevant to your education right now or anything else you want to talk about with the network.
