7. Search for new friends in Parvi’s Instagram
Would you like to find new friends or get to know new people?
Everyone can feel loneliness in the rush of everyday life. Loneliness can appear in many ways and people can feel it in their own way. University students may find it hard to find new friends in new surroundings. Here is a way to get to know new people!
Search for friends: You can introduce yourself in the comments. Tell for example your hobbies, what you like, your favourite things and values. Please leave your own comment, so there is potential for as many to find new friends.
You can answer to comments that pique your interest and then you can fix up a meeting for example in Instagram’s direct messages. Remember to stay safe and be kind!
The search is open for the time being.
The search for friends is made in co-operation with TAMK Parvi and TAMK students.
WHAT: Search for friends
WHERE: Parvi’s Instagram @tamkparvi https://www.instagram.com/tamkparvi/
WHEN: Starting on Tuesday 7.11.2023
