PAST EVENTS
Watch all the interviews with our participants
The 5 attached interviews below are part of the research that we did for this project. In these similar yet distinct interviews you will witness how international students are feeling in these hard days that we deal with Covid-19, yet their issues are all coming from a similar problem. The 5 participants have two things in common, they are all international students and they all study in Canada, whether located here or a far.
All the interviews fall under conversational category and informal interviews. The variety of questions that discussed in these pieces are ranging from online and virtual life style and remote classes to personal issues and mental health such as depression and anxiety.
The findings, however, are not so shocking. All 5 participants mentioned minor or major depression and high stress level. Some enjoyed online classes and point about positive aspects of it but the major comments were negative and hoped to see a change as soon as possible.
