We hope everyone had an amazing summer, full of relaxation and great memories. With a new school year just around the corner, it’s almost time to start a new school year full of educational and exciting challenges with recharged batteries and fresh energy. We are looking forward to entering this new chapter together with you and making the most out of the upcoming school year!
Therefore, we are excited to announce the launch of our completely redesigned website. This upgrade not only provides a more modern and simpler design but also introduces exciting new features and sections that enrich your learning experience and connection with other OT students in Europe.
My name is Gaëlle. I am a 22-year-old student from Belgium, currently in my first year of the European Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. I’m also working in the rehabilitation department where I help rehabilitate patients in the polytrauma and amputation ward. This hands-on experience is invaluable and allows me to apply what I have learned and make a tangible difference in patients’ lives.
Furthermore, I can also enthusiastically announce that I am the new blogger at SPOT. I’m looking forward to starting this new adventure. However, I would like to thank Aleyna, who has done a great job as a Blogger. She has covered many topics on occupational therapy in her blogs. Each time, she brought this with great enthusiasm. Aleyna is now taking up the role of event Coordinator.
Hi everyone, my name is Victoria Amoako. I am 22yrs and I currently attend the University of Southampton in England studying Occupational Therapy.
I heard about SPOT Europe through my lecture, and I was immediately drawn to the mission and vision of SPOT Europe. As a general board member, I am super excited to embark on this journey with my amazing colleagues to ensure the collaboration of OT students to create and manage impactful projects worldwide. I love to swim, and play basketball, football and volleyball when I am less busy :).
With my creative and empathetic nature, I look forward to advocating and promoting OT internationally.
This year ENOTHE held their Annual Meeting in Oviedo, Spain. SPOTeurope was present, as every year since 2014, to represent the students’ voices of Europe. This time represented in person by Bruna, Megan, Angela, and Kira, we decided to give you, the SPOT community, a small insight into how our preparations for the 27th AM looked like. And of course to what these preparations lead to at the AM.
My name is Aleyna, and I am currently a fourth-year Occupational Therapy student from Turkey and new Blogger for SPOTeurope.
First, I would like to thank Kira, who has done a great job as a Blogger and is currently Event Coordinator, for her support throughout the process. She has produced precious and exciting content by collaborating and sharing thoughts, actions, and impressions hers and yours. It is with great gratitude that I now take over this work from her.
Another new member on the board, Angela is taking on a new role (social media coordinator). She is from Spain, and just recently joined the team. She will definitely create great content with her high level of motivation and creativity.

This month’s blog addresses the WFOT congress in Paris that took place from the 28th until the 31st of August. Three of the board members, Megan (Outreach), Ulrik (General), and I, Kira (Blogger) were able to attend this event. Firstly, we would like to thank ENOTHE for giving us the opportunity to represent SPOTeurope at such a big event. We are very grateful for it! At SPOTeurope we aim to promote students to look beyond their country’s border as upcoming OTs. What better way to do that than visit the biggest congress the OT world has to offer? The following text is a recap of that experience:
Hello fellow OT students! I am excited to present a new idea we tried out for the blog section: A certain topic is presented by any member of SPOT, to which the whole community can share their views. Ulrik, our general board member, wrote down some thoughts he had on the topic of internationalisation and why it is so important. On our instagram feed we shared a poll, asking for your opinion on internationalisation. I quoted some of your answers further down in the blog post. We hope this may inspire you to get active and exchange your thoughts with OT students worldwide, keep your minds open and embrace new possibilites through international exchange! 🙂
I am writing to you as the new blogger for SPOTeurope. My name is Kira and I am in my third year of studying OT in Germany. I have only recently joined SPOTeurope and am looking forward to creating the blog space together with you guys!
We would like to take this opportunity to discuss SPOTEurope with you. What have we been up to and what do you think about us? We would love to interact with you about the future of SPOTEurope. Sign up through the attached google forms.
Hi everyone! This blog aims to keep you up to date about SPOTeurope board activities. We know that our roles may be sometimes unclear, then here’s what we have done recently and a few words about our plans.

A concert for the benefit of hospitalized children
On Friday May, 18th, the OT students association of Tours, France, organized a charity concert in a café concert named Les 3 Orfèvres. This concert took place as part of the action of Ampli Mutuelle, a health mutual, named Nez pour Sourire, for the organization Le Rire Médecin.
Hi everyone, Maurane’s speaking ! Today I’m going to tell you about this amazing experience I’ve had last year : my international occupational therapy fieldwork placement in Trois-Rivières, QC, Canada.

Picture yourself in our situation: you’re studying, on the weekends you’re hanging out with your friends and you see your bright future for yourself as an occupational therapist.
