| Video Discription | Rosalinde confronts the audience with the culture of stress that exists within universities and society in general. Based on this, she will present the tools in which students and staff can change university culture for the better. Rosalinde Spitters knows what is going on within the walls of academia when it comes to high stress levels and is willing to lobby for change. After obtaining her Propedeuse in Law at the University of Amsterdam, she decided to switch to Cultural Anthropology at Leiden University. After her Bachelor she stayed in Leiden, to start and successfully complete her Master’s degree in Global Economy and Culture. Besides experiencing the student life and struggles herself, Rosalinde also worked as a Student Assistant during her Bachelor years; not only with university but also high school students. After her Master's degree, her path lead her to become a student advisor, coordinator, and get involved in the Skills Academy. Her personal experience made her question the current University Culture. Through her work, she has witnessed its enormous effects on one’s life: mentally, socially, and physically, causing unhealthy lifestyles not only among students but also among her colleagues or other employees. Connecting all these stories, Rosalinde inspires us to unite and create a change to improve the well-being our universities create. She suggests a new model of “Sustainable University Culture”, aiming at a more comfortable working environment, realistic workload, and personal feedback. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx e1GmbpLqKQc |
