Concentration Corners in English
Are you a master procrastinator too? Does your mind keep wandering off just when you’d like to focus? Is it difficult to concentrate on studying, independent assignments or lectures? You’re definitely not alone – and you’re warmly invited to join our online Concentration Corner sessions this autumn!
Concentration Corner is a low-threshold space on Zoom where we start with a short introduction to the day’s theme and then leave time for discussion or for getting started with your own study tasks. Let’s take the hardest step together and actually get going.
