As a leading candidate for the Ring Freihheitlicher Studenten at TU Graz, I engaged in:
Dynamic Debates: Participating in compelling panel discussions.
Campaign for Fairness: Advocating for the abolition of mandatory student union fees and fighting for more equitable university policies.
Infrastructure Improvements: Pushing for increased notebook charging stations and e-bike facilities on campus.
Challenging Environment: Navigating the complexities of representing a minority political viewpoint within the university setting.
Co-Leader of a Support Group for Young Men with Mental Health Challenges#
In a role close to my heart, I co-led a support group in Graz, offering:
Inclusive Support: Catering to individuals with a range of conditions from depression and anxiety to those on the autism spectrum, like myself.
Skill Sharing: Exchanging knowledge and strategies for managing social interactions effectively.
Educational Workshops: Conducting numerous presentations on topics such as proper speech, displaying confidence, structuring conversations, and understanding emotions.
Practical Application: Organizing bi-monthly outings to practice engaging in natural conversations with strangers, followed by discussion sessions to reflect on our learnings and improve our approaches.
I take immense pride in my involvement with these initiatives, as they not only contributed to my personal growth but also enabled me to assist hundreds of men in leading more fulfilling lives beyond their confines. It’s a testament to the power of community and the positive impact of volunteer work.
