Last week (9-15 May), we celebrated wellbeing across the University, with relaxing, active and tasty activities 鈥� which were all free. Based on the steps, the activities were designed to help you take care of your wellbeing and unwind. Here are just some of the highlights in pictures:
The week kicked off with Wellfest 鈥� a celebration of wellbeing on Highfield Campus 鈥� with stalls including doughnut decorating, rock painting, mindful colouring, table tennis and much more.听
Some students enjoyed arranging a mini bouquet of flowers to give to a friend or to leave around campus with a note for a stranger.
Meanwhile, others tested their skills on the water during the paddleboard session at the Watersports Centre.听
At the end of the week, students enjoyed a free cream tea box and relaxed in the sun on hammocks and blankets.
The week concluded with an online talk by Solent Mind on听how to best cope with assessment stress, and the importance of taking time to relax during challenging times.
