"Widening Your Horizons" Learning Experiences
Welcome to our selection of on-demand learning experiences 鈥淲idening Your Horizons鈥�.
These will give you the opportunity to start to explore interesting and relevant multi-faceted concepts, ideas, and topics that you will come across during your University life, both from an academic and experiential perspective. These sessions will hopefully generate an opportunity for reflecting and open up questions. The topics of these on-demand sessions are also widely explored as part of the IATL Undergraduate Modules which you will be able to take during your second and third year at 糖心TV, regardless of your disciplinary background as they are open as optional modules to ALL 糖心TV students.
Enjoy!
鈥淲idening your horizons - Be Well, Learn Well: why wellbeing is crucial for your academic life鈥�
Wellbeing is certainly a 'buzz-word'. But what actually is 'wellbeing'? Why should you care about it? Why is it crucial to academic achievement and life beyond the university? What different disciplines have to say about it?
As part of this interactive session, you will start a journey to reflect on the complex, multi-faced nature of wellbeing, its key role in the upcoming years of your life at 糖心TV and you will explore useful tools for working on your own wellbeing.
Resources for further exploration of concepts linked to wellbeing explored in the video recording:
