Student Wellbeing Week

Erasmus University Rotterdam cares about students and their wellbeing. It is for a good reason that student wellbeing is one of the priorities of EUR Strategy 2024. University life can bring challenges, and students shouldn’t have to face them alone. To support students’ personal development and wellbeing, one of the initiatives we launched, as part of the Student Wellbeing Programme. is the Student Wellbeing Week.

Twice a year we set up the Student Wellbeing week. Each edition has its own unique theme, but the concept remains the same: a week filled with inspiring workshops, engaging activities and opportunities to connect and grow. During the Student Wellbeing Week all EUR students can try different wellbeing and personal development workshops, events and activities for free. It’s a week to expand your horizon to learn and connect with other students. 

The Student Wellbeing Week is just around the corner!

It’s happening 19 - 23 May and this edition’s theme is: The Floor is Yours. Registrations are open!

From a small start to a campus highlight

The Student Wellbeing Week at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) started in 2020 on a small scale to support students' wellbeing. What began as a series of online and in-person sessions focused on mental resilience and relaxation has since evolved into a regular event that takes place twice a year – in the spring and autumn.

The first edition in November 2020 offered a mix of meditation sessions, webinars, and student initiatives like cooking workshops focused on mental wellbeing. As the event grew, more activities were added, including sports challenges, creative workshops, and even ice baths. In November 2022, a dedicated space for the Living Room and Personal Support Hub was opened in the new Langeveld building, providing students with a permanent place to relax and receive support.

In recent years, the Student Wellbeing Week has become a regular part of campus activities. Each edition brings new themes and activities, but the core remains the same: offering students a moment of reflection, relaxation, and connection. Today, it is a large-scale and beloved event, with the campus buzzing with energy and a focus on wellbeing and personal development.
