More and more universities in Poland, Europe and all over the world offer their students and employees support in the field of wellbeing. The constant presence of a psychologist at the university, events such as a mental health week, workshops and lectures on caring for mental and physical health are important elements of the activities of many universities.
Therefore, Gdańsk University of Technology has launched the project "Hey, are you OK?".
From October to the end of April, support and academic staff, as well as Polish and international students, will be able to participate in the events organized as part of the project. We wanted to diversify the offered forms of support as much as possible. That’s why we have planned workshops on mediation, cultural differences, seminars on coping with crisis situations, but also yoga and mindfulness classes. The aspect of integrating employees and students was also an important issue to us, which is why some of the events are addressed to all interested parties, regardless of their status at the university – says Marta Wojcieszenko from the International Relations Office, Project Coordinator.
