TeachMeet on Well-Being - 5 December
Well-being is one of the most important yet often underestimated concepts in academia. What exactly is meant by wellbeing? How does wellbeing affect your academic performance? How do you deal with issues related to wellbeing, particularly in relation to work and school? And how can teachers ensure that their students’ wellbeing is maintained as well as possible?
These questions will all be answered during the TeachMeet on Wellbeing. Through various presentations given by experts active within the UvA and TLC, the most important issues surrounding the theme of wellbeing will be discussed and highlighted. This TeachMeet meeting will provide teachers with clearer insights and knowledge about wellbeing and teach them how to best deal with the theme of wellbeing in their work.
