The eighth episode of „NextNormal – WeStudy@Home“ is the second one of two episodes featuring Edward De Gabriele and Nicole Galea from KSU (University Students’ Council) in Malta. In this part of the interview, they tell us how an international place like Malta felt during the shutdown, what important role student volunteers played in helping the country handle the crisis and in what way mental health has become a much more prominent issue of debate and concern. And of course their share their perspectives on learning from this crisis in order build a better future of higher education.

What  is the “NextNormal” of European student life? There will be a time after  the Corona shutdown, and we want to discuss what it should look like.  How can we learn from the digital turn in order to create a better  future for higher education? In our podcast, we are talking to students  and student unions from all over Europe about the “NextNormal” – the  future of higher education beyond Corona. Each episode is dedicated to  one European country. “NextNormal – WeStudy@Home” is a podcast produced  by the NextEducation working group at DHBW Karlsruhe and strongly  supported by ESU.
