Appreciative end-of-semester activities

During spring semester, the PhD Council at the Department of Teaching and Learning received 10 000 SEK for exciting end-of-semester activities. On May 4th a dinner was held at Hermans in Stockholm, which was very appreciated by all the PhD students.

– Hermans was a lovely place with a lot of green food and gorgeous views over Stockholm, says Harita, council chair. Herman's has been a vegetarian institution since 1991 and vegan since 2015. It´s a very friendly and multicultural place –  just like our colleagues. We all enjoyed the colourful buffet and the lovely sunny evening. 

– More than 30 PhDs registered for the social activties, with 24 attending the dinner, which excited the board. The opportunity to meet so many PhD colleagues in person was very rewarding for everyone. The visiting international PhDs at the department also joined the dinner and enjoyed it, added Beatrice, a representative of social gatherings at the department's PhD council.

– Sophie Perry – visiting PhD student from London shares "The PhD dinner was such a wonderful opportunity for me as a visiting student to get to know other PhD students and understand the spread of research in the department. It felt like a really valuable community-building event and I feel very lucky to have been included!"

– "It has been a lovely opportunity to meet everyone as a group in a relaxing social atmosphere where we could enjoy delicious food, and share laughter and stories" - Natalya, PhD student at the department, comments on the event.

– Nhu says, "I really enjoyed the dinner! It is a fantastic opportunity to connect PhD students together in a friendly environment. I think everyone was very happy. And we should continue doing more activities like this."
