On November 20th, we officially opened the Student Living Room (SLR)! Students came to visit, meet their hosts, and get a first look at this new space designed just for them. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm, with everyone eager to connect and share their thoughts. It was an opportunity for students to not only familiarize themselves with the room but also to participate in creating the community they want to see in the space.
Throughout the event, we played a variety of board games, which sparked laughter and friendly competition. The SLR hosts planned some activities for the event, like mandala coloring, a meditation and an art exercise. This created a relaxed and fun environment, encouraging students to exchange stories and experiences.
One of the key aspects of the event was to gather feedback from the students. We wanted to know what they would like to see in the Student Living Room and how it could best serve their needs. To make this process interactive, students were invited to write down their wishes and suggestions. Their input is essential to ensure that the space evolves into a place where everyone feels comfortable and heard.
As a special surprise, we presented the students with an Advent Calendar filled with tea, encouraging them to take time for Self-care. It’s a little gift to help them unwind and practice mindfulness during the busy weeks leading up to Christmas. We hope the tea calendar serves as a reminder to pause and enjoy a moment of peace amidst their hectic schedules.
We look forward to seeing how the Student Living Room will grow with the students’ input and continue to be a place of connection, relaxation, and creativity.
Come by, we can’t wait to see you here!
