The National University of Singapore (NUS) is known more than for its academic excellence; it also takes pride in promoting a holistic approach to education- encompassing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. One of the most exciting events on NUS's calendar that embodies this commitment is the WellNUS Festival. This annual celebration is a unique blend of fun, education, and wellness, designed to foster a healthier and happier community within our university.
You might have seen our lovable 7 PitStop Pals around campus. Did you know that they are associated to the 7 PitStop Principles? Likewise, the WellNUS Festival is an expansion of the evidence backed 7 Pitstop Principles developed by our very own OSA Student Wellness Team. Here are seven things you need to know about WellNUS Festival.
1. A Festival of Learning and Growth
The WellNUS Festival is not just an event; it's a celebration of personal growth and well-being. This year, the festival aims to create an atmosphere of learning and self-improvement through a diverse range of workshops and activities. Whether you're a student seeking ways to balance academic demands or a staff member looking to enhance your work-life balance, there's something for everyone at this festival of holistic well-being.
2. 7 PitStop Principles: Your Roadmap to Well-being
At the heart of the festival are the 7 PitStop Principles. These principles serve as your roadmap to a healthier, happier, and more balanced life. Each principle addresses a key aspect of well-being, from managing stress and fostering resilience to nurturing physical fitness and enhancing emotional health. By participating in the interest-based workshops, you'll gain practical insights into how these principles can be applied in your daily life, setting you on a path to well-being.
3. Explore Your Interests and Passions
The WellNUS Festival offers a treasure trove of interest-based workshops that cater to your passions and hobbies. Whether you're intrigued by dance, fitness, art, or mindfulness, there's a workshop tailored to your interests. These hands-on experiences allow you to explore new activities or deepen your existing interests while reaping the well-being benefits that come with them.
4. Affordable Workshops for All
At the heart of the WellNUS Festival are the workshops, each meticulously designed to cater to the needs of every student. To ensure that these opportunities are accessible to all, we have taken the extra step of subsidising the actual workshop costs. We believe that enhancing your well-being should be within everyone's reach.
5. Strengthening Well-being Together
One of the festival's core strengths is its ability to bring our NUS community together. Attendees can connect with fellow students and staff in a supportive and inclusive environment. By participating in these workshops, you'll not only enhance your own well-being but also contribute to a stronger sense of community and connection within our NUS Community.
6. Practical Tools for Everyday Life
The workshops featured in the festival provide practical tools that you can incorporate into your daily routine. Whether it's stress management techniques, fitness routines, or mindfulness practice, these tools can empower you to proactively nurture your well-being. The focus is on incorporating everyday practices that make a meaningful difference to your life.
7. Embrace Well-being as a Journey
The WellNUS Festival encourages you to embrace well-being as an ongoing journey. It's not about quick fixes but about making sustainable, positive changes in your life. The workshops help you build the reportiore of skills and habits necessary to maintain well-being in the long run, ensuring that the benefits of the festival extend far beyond its duration. We hope by experiencing the 7 PitStop principles in action, they will live with you even after you leave NUS.
