Come join us for a virtual tour of Colchester! As lockdown begins to ease from next month, we may see some tourist attractions re-open to the public, which hopefully gives you some time to experience Colchester in person. Attend this short programme to hear more from a current student about things available in Colchester to enjoy. Hosted by SRA Barbara (South Courts).

Come along to learn effective stress management techniques from a current student. Hopefully by the end of the event, you will feel happier, healthier and ready to be more productive. Meditation is a great tool to keep a balanced mind when under pressure and meet challenges. During the programme, we will sync up a streaming of a couple of episodes of 'Headspace: Guide to Meditation' (2020), available on Netflix. Meditation tools will be useful for everyone as we approach a busy exam season. Hosted by RA Karolina (North).

6-8pm
Zoom Meeting ID: 917 4705 7841
This online programme will give attendees a brief introduction into mental health in students, and how taking care of our mental health and emotional wellbeing is vital for all students as we approach exams. Managing exam anxiety can be a real worry for all students so it's important to share how we're feeling and what helps us cope. After this, there will be some time for some sociable online games such as Among Us, and a selection of games available on backyard.co. Hosted by SRA Evi (North).
