Share your story
Do you want to share a story about a topic that touches you? The story can, for example, address thoughts, experiences, and feelings related to your everyday life as a student. You can share what brings you joy, where you find strength and positive energy, or how you take care of yourself. You can also tell about how you have found solutions to challenges you have faced in your academic life.
Share your story via the form below. You can submit your story as text, a link to a video, a link to an audio file, or as an image. You can submit your story under a pseudonym, with your real name, or anonymously.
You don’t need to be a master storyteller to take part. The most important thing is that you have thoughts and reflections you’d like to share with others. The style is completely up to you. Your story can be a list of tips, a poem, a comic, an infographic, or even a short film! You may also have created your story in a physical form, like a watercolor painting—just send us a photo of it. Please don’t submit works that are entirely created using AI.
We won’t restrict your choice of topic, but we do hope your story includes encouragement and a sense of hope. This way, your experiences and insights can help others discover new perspectives on their everyday student life and well-being.
Please remember to respect the privacy of others. Your story should not include details that could be used to identify individual people. Likewise, please respect your own privacy. You have the right to publish your story anonymously or under a pseudonym, and to leave out any descriptions or information that could be used to identify you. You also have the right to request the removal of your story at any time by contacting Nyyti’s staff listed under further information.
We review all submitted stories in advance. After you’ve sent your story, we will contact you by email before publication to agree on the details of publishing. We reserve the right to decide which stories will be published.
The stories will be published on our website. We may also share them through Nyyti’s communication channels, such as social media. In addition, we may use them in our advocacy work, fundraising, and marketing.
It felt like a good idea to write about a topic I had thought about a lot, and in that way, to deal with the matter in a concrete way and share my story
I got a message from a reader who said they’d been through something similar and shared their own experience with me. It felt amazing to know that someone truly understands what I’ve been through.
