HAMK Community Café: Nursing Students Host a Series of Health and Wellness Sessions
HAMK Community Café is a relaxed space for international students, and their families to learn and share practical tips on wellbeing and daily health—led by nursing students in a friendly, supportive setting!
A group of nursing students from HAMK’s Degree Programme in Nursing has been given the opportunity to organize the HAMK Community Café on 27 November, 4 December, and 11 December 2025. The Community Café provides an open, low-threshold space for students to learn, connect, and participate in meaningful discussions about wellbeing and health.
Session 1 – Seasonal Wellbeing & Nutrition
27 November 2025, 9:00–12:00
The first Community Café session focused on nutrition and seasonal wellbeing, with discussions on recognizing and preventing symptoms of winter fatigue, maintaining balanced nutritional habits, and addressing common health challenges during the darker months of the year.
Participants had the chance to exchange practical tips and learn how everyday choices can improve their energy levels and overall wellbeing throughout the winter season.
Session 2 – First Aid Training
4 December 2025, 9:00–16:00
Location: Ensiapu VI-S-202, Nipsula
The second session offers a hands-on pop-up first aid training, designed especially for international students and their families. Guided by nursing students, the training provides practical instruction in essential first aid skills, including:
- Basic Life Support (BLS)
- Managing choking in both children and adults
- Providing first aid to an unconscious adult, with and without breathing
The training day is divided into two parts:
- Part 1: 9:00–12:00
- Part 2: 14:00–16:00
This session is conducted entirely in English and welcomes all HAMK international students and their families. Participants may join at any time during the day.
Free refreshments will be available.

The final Community Café session will take place on 11 December. The theme will be announced soon, and students are encouraged to follow HAMK channels for updates.
