The Big Small
The past couple of years have made it really difficult to connect with others, especially at uni.
So for The Big Small 2022, AUBSU and Student Services want to connect AUB through creativity. On Wednesday 9th February we're hosting a BIG EVENT. You’ll get to decorate your own bunting which will be hung up around AUB, connecting AUB Students and Staff.
Have a wonder around the campus between 11-3pm to find the creative workshops! (More details on locations to come)
The Big Small is the big wellbeing event of the year, in collaboration with Student Services. This year the theme for The Big Small is connecting. Here's some top tips on connecting with others:
Connecting with others
Good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing. They can help you to build a sense of belonging and self-worth, and provide emotional support.
Some things you could try to help build stronger and closer relationships:
- Suggest having dinner with a friend or housemate, whether it is going out, having a takeaway or cooking together.
- Arrange coffee and/or a walk with a friend.
- Try switching off the TV to talk or play a board game with family or friends.
- Volunteer at a local school, hospital or community group.
