Description

The Student Life Team will be switching off to reconnect. Join us in a digital-free zone - a chance to connect with self and others without the use of the virtual world.

We are all increasingly on our screens and the negative impact on our physical and mental wellbeing is being discussed more and more. We are reliant on technology and screens offer a great deal of fun and entertainment, as well as social connections.

Join the Student Life team, switch off your phone for an hour or two, and engage in some low-key games. Have a conversation with someone new or just come and sit quietly in some good company.
