Once I Was You
The show Once I Was You – is a visual podcast, where NHL Stenden teachers share their philosophy, experience, and knowledge about their life during university with students. In this show, students ask spicy questions, learn lessons and get teachers out of their comfort zone. While telling us their life-changing perspectives, they are breaking a common belief that teachers aren’t able or willing to understand and help students with their life problems. As with any other life, student life has its ups and downs. But we sometimes forget that teachers themselves went through uncertainty and troubles at our age. So, how did they get through it? Based on this idea, we created an audio-visual product called “Once I Was You”.
