WHAT MATRICOLANDO PROJECT IS?
Matricolando is a service aimed at improving the psychological counselling of students (freshmen) who have just entered the university world.
The different opportunities proposed are characterised by specific themes and are structured in group workshops.
Sharing expectations, motivations, feelings - as well as doubts and initial disorientation - in a small group can help students develop a positive attitude and curiosity about their new course of study, as well as the ability to adapt to change and new situations.
Who it is aimed at?
Participation in the groups is open to all first-year students enrolled at the University of Brescia and is completely free of charge. The recognition of ECTS credits is provided for participation in at least 75% of the meetings, at the discretion of each Degree Program.
How, where, when?
Each group will consist of a maximum of 10-12 students, plus the presence of the facilitators.
There will be 5 meetings for each group, each lasting 1.5 to 2 hours.
The meetings will be held in spaces made available at the Faculty of Medicine.
How to register?
To register for the groups, it is necessary to send an email to the following address: [email protected].

OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
The proposal is divided into 4 meetings, during which a psychologist will guide the students, through group activities, in a path aimed at promoting adaptation and inclusion in a new environment and increasing personal well-being.
The relationship with the group will become an important resource not only for sharing with others but also for deepening self-knowledge.
