Kick off the Student Wellbeing Week (and your morning) with good vibes, great music, and a free breakfast! Enjoy the beats by MiniCulture in the Global Lounge for an energising (Turkish) Breakfast Rave: dance, laugh, and fuel up before your day begins!

In collaboration with Social Run Club Wageningen and Antalya 07, we will be running a 5 km at a social pace, with tea and Turkish treats afterwards. 

Do you ever find yourself struggling to put on your running shoes? Or to wake up early? We do too. And yes it can suck, but one thing is certain: it will never make you feel worse. By running together we lower boundaries and celebrate the little wins together.  Moreover, running itself lowers stress and cortisol levels, replacing the feeling of ‘having to move forward’ with physical steps forward.  

 Come run with us and start your day good with miles, smiles and delicious treats.

Take a mindful break with Qigong - an ancient practice that combines gentle movement, breathing, and focus. This session helps you release stress, recharge your energy, and find a calmer state of mind. A simple way to support your wellbeing during your busy student life.

Student life can be busy, and everyone experiences it differently. Some people need quiet to focus, others need movement or conversation. Some are easily overwhelmed by noise and light, while others need more stimulation. There’s no right or wrong way, our brains simply work differently. 

In this interactive workshop, you’ll discover how you take in the world and what gives you energy or costs you energy. Through short, surprising exercises, you’ll experience how different people can respond very differently to the same environment. You’ll also hear personal stories from people with lived experience and have plenty of space for questions and discussion. 

What's in it for you? 

•  Better understanding of your own needs and energy •  More insight into how others experience the world •  New ways to connect and communicate with each other 

For everyone, whatever your brain is like.

St. Door het Geluid facilitates two - Dutch spoken - workshops at the same time. About Grip op je Geld  

Huur, boodschappen, collegegeld en leuke dingen doen: het studentenleven kost veel geld. Met beperkte inkomsten kan dat stress geven en invloed hebben op je concentratie, slaap en welzijn.

In deze workshop ontdek je waar je geld naartoe gaat en hoe je meer overzicht krijgt. Je leert bewuste keuzes maken en prioriteiten stellen, met ruimte voor je sociale leven. Zo krijg je meer grip op je geld en houd je aan het einde van de maand hopelijk ook meer rust in je hoofd.

Je studententijd zit vol ontmoetingen. Toch kun je je tussen al die mensen alleen voelen. Veel contacten hebben betekent immers niet automatisch dat je je verbonden voelt.

In deze workshop ontdek je wat sociale gezondheid voor jou betekent. We bespreken eenzaamheid, vriendschappen en hoe je herkent welke relaties je energie geven of kosten. Je kijkt naar je eigen sociale omgeving en leert hoe je een gesprek begint met iemand die zich terugtrekt.

Het gaat om relaties waarin je jezelf kunt zijn en je gezien en gesteund voelt.

Grief doesn’t pause for deadlines. The loss of a loved one, a relationship ending, a lost sense of identity: how do you make room for grief in a busy student life? In this workshop we explore what grief can look like physically and emotionally, how to balance distraction and mourning, and what self-care can mean for you. We’ll look at two grief models, practical ways to give space to grief, and simple tools to add more self-care to your day.

What does your gut say about your mental health? 

Nutrition influences both your body and your mood. The billions of bacteria living in your gut play an important role in this connection, and what you eat helps shape how they function.

In this interactive lecture, you’ll explore the links between food, gut bacteria and the brain. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how your eating habits can support your mental wellbeing, and what that means for everyday student life.
