Our task: Improve European citizens’ quality of life by creating a European University for Well-Being! (A holistic view and approach. Main focus on health, education, people and institutions). Four statements that have been discussed:
1. How do we create a truly student-centered curriculum with high quality learning outcomes? 📝
2. How do we engage our students in global well-being? 🌍🤸♂️🤝
3. How do we support the well-being of our students? 🌅
4. How do we stimulate collaboration among the different campuses and double or student mobility? ✈️
Members of the jury: Hester Bijl (Vice Rector), Jan Adriaanse (Professor of Turnaround Management), Marja Verstelle (Projectmanager EUniWELL) and one student. ⚖️
It has been a pleasure to be a part of this mission and I would like to thank everyone who participated in this journey and even those who arranged this meeting. Beautiful people over and out. For those of you reading this, I hope you have also started to think about what may be required to develop well-being within universities in Europe!🌟🙏🏻
