The software Notion has become an extremely popular tool among students in recent years. In its free version, Notion offers a wide range of features that can be used in personal, professional, and academic contexts. This workshop focuses on how Notion can be used as a helpful tool in day-to-day university life—for example, by organizing lecture notes, planning academic papers, or preparing for exams.

While Notion may seem complex at first due to its many functions, its use does not have to be complicated. In this workshop, we will go through the basic features step by step. Together, we will learn how to create a "workspace", which we will use to explore various features of Notion. The goal of the workshop is not to provide an exhaustive review of all of Notion’s capabilities, but rather to demonstrate how even its basic tools can become a powerful aid in your studies.

Note: This workshop is aimed at Notion beginners.

• to create their own Notion Workspace,
