Tara - Overall reflection of exchange meetings.


Over the past exchange sessions I have gained new perspectives on how other students and disciplines have each approached the wellbeing topic.

 I provided critique and my own perspective and so did others which then in turn turned into a productive discussion between all in the exchange group. 


This engagement made me better and providing critique to others in a constructive way. 

Nothing in particular from the exchange group contributed to my own project but I gained experience and skills in other areas, critique being the critical one.

Today we began to protoype our event idea by showing a few participants nostalgic images to start a conversatoins about what is nostalgic for different people. surprisingly millennials are very nostalgic compared to other generations, so we believe a social event involving nostalgia in some way would be a successful strategy to encourage millennials to put down their phones and live in the moment by rememebering the past. We want to remind millennials how much fun they had in their childhood before they had phones. Millennials were a lot more engaged with their surroundings when we didn't rely on technology.
