Project Providence
Sustainable Development Goals 3-Health and Welfare
Bring people together
for better awareness
since Oct.2020
"Perspectives
derive from diversities." Providence University cordially invites students and
faculties from our partners to join the online & ongoing focus discussion
revolving on SDGs 3: Health and Welfare.
The project aims to establish a cross-border and cross-discipline learning
community by utilizing cloud working space Slack
and video telephony software Jitsi Meet.
Members from different parts of the world are to spot and address the real life
cases concerning SDGs 3, and engage in the threads of discussion. By the end of
the program, members will present the essence of discussion as plainly as possible
to the online audience, hoping to raise SDGs awareness starting from the
participants.

I really like our first session discussing the pandemic. Everyone has expressed their opinion and we were giving information about the conditions & government policies in their respective countries. There are so many we discussed about the pandemic from various perspectives ranging from policy, health, education, and economy. I think the first meeting was a very enthusiastic session, not quite a video meeting, but we were still continuing the conversation on the Slack for days. We shared news links and YouTube videos so that other participants can easily understand.

I think mental health impressed me the most. The three topics above pandemic, food culture & eating habits and happiness somehow relate to mental health in a very special way. People's mental health is greatly affected by the pandemic because they cannot approach the services when needed. Also, "we are what we eat" raises awareness among us on a daily basis. Things that make us happy right now cannot come from outside in this situation. They come from inside. I think I am more aware of my mental health, and get more useful information that I have learned for sure. When it comes to everyone's mental problems, I would be a listener rather than an adviser. I realize the similarity and differences in our culture then eager to learn more from international friends. Thank you everyone.
