Knowledge from learning circles

Participants from the learning circle on student groups turnover explained they have taken on more responsibility since the beginning of the pandemic.


Experiences they shared about this included:

  • Increased feelings of isolation
  • Felt good for their mental health to get involved
  • Online commitments were difficult, and there was no way to really celebrate wins 
  • Difficult to stay on top of concerns, resolve conflicts, connect with people's feelings online


They suggested...
Make posts on social media inviting people to share whatever time they have to give and possible tasks you need support with, and invite people to larger meetings

Build relationships with new people, and mention understanding for the lack of time of people who commit.

When you have designated positions, it's helpful to have an email for the position rather than contacting the personal email of the person who has that role
