In addition, the biggest myths that still prevail around menstruation are discussed and the problems of conventional menstrual products are explained. Finally, sustainable menstrual products and their advantages and disadvantages are examined and you are given the opportunity to find out what you can do to break the taboo of menstruation and make the (menstrual) world more sustainable.

- Let's talk - Self-help groups for students

We all have difficulties in our studies. They can be very diverse: stress, loneliness, money worries, motivation difficulties, pressure to perform, procrastination, but also physical and mental illnesses, anxiety, addiction, depression and so much more.

You are not alone! In order to be able to get rid of your own worries for once, to be able to exchange ideas with others with the same problems and possibly benefit from their experiences, there are now fortnightly discussion groups - by students for students. Just send us an email at selbsthilfe@oeh.cc with a topic you would like to talk about and we will get back to you.

We look forward to seeing you!

But we have used the time to implement some innovations for you:
1. New homepage www.studia.at with new online connection of our bookshops
2. Online integration of all scripts available for us to order on our homepage
3. Digital printing from home: for all prints in colour or b/w - with or without finishing

Take the opportunity to print your seminar papers and especially your theses comfortably from your workstation. In our new tool (also on www.studia.at) we offer you many new possibilities.

By the way: Do you know the book price fixing in Austria and Germany? It says that almost all books (have to) cost the same everywhere! Accordingly, the big online retailer is not cheaper!
Besides, as your local bookshop, we pay taxes in Austria and thus secure jobs.

2. Austria-wide survey 'Student Health in Austria

Too little research has been done on how to stay healthy while studying and what can make you ill during this phase of your life. That's why a nationwide study on this is currently underway. The link below will take you to the corresponding online questionnaire.
Your answers will help us to better shape higher education and studying in Austria in the future. The collection and evaluation of the data is completely anonymous.
Click here for the survey and more information on the study:

4. Youth Global Peace and Transformation: Meditation for Students

Do you know this? You feel stressed, unwell. There are increasingly moments when it seems like everything is just too much and the pressure and expectations are too high.
Regular meditation has been proven to be an effective way to counteract this and to slow down the constantly circling train of thoughts and feelings. A mixture of active focus and relaxation makes it possible to gain clarity, discover new perspectives and angles on oneself and one's own life situation, and achieve balance and well-being.

Try it out!
We are now offering guided meditations every Tuesday at 8pm and Wednesdays at 7pm at zoom.us/join with ID: 93490422949.

Our volunteer team is made up of a diverse mix of people who regularly spend time with the children and young people. Our reading sessions always take place on a fixed day at the respective schools. The duration depends on the local conditions, but is usually about 60 minutes.

Environmental psychologist Jana Kesenheimer explains which framework conditions motivate people to behave in a way that conserves resources.

A train journey or a flight to faraway places? A vegan diet or not without the milk in your coffee? When and why do we behave in an environmentally friendly way or not? These are the questions that occupy social and environmental psychologist Jana Kesenheimer. She is doing her doctorate at the University of Innsbruck and is investigating which factors influence environmentally relevant behaviour. What role environmental attitudes, personality facets and various egoistic and ecological motives play, and how the Corona pandemic can affect our environmental behaviour - Jana will present her research on this in an online lecture.
