Welcome to the Gemma & Iina Unfiltered podcast. In our first episode, we talk about how the EIS-Fela’s long college strike has affected us as students. We share our thoughts on how the strikes have impacted our mental health and well-being. As one of us is an international student and the other is a local, we provide a diverse perspective on this issue. We strongly believe that strikes and absences can have a significant impact on students’ daily lives, studies, stress levels, and mental health. Our goal as students is to raise awareness about the negative consequences of long-term strikes on student well-being and academic success. We want to make sure that our voices are heard and that the importance of student wellbeing is not overlooked in the fight for a better cause.
