Welcome to FestiWell 2022

Among other things, you can listen to Joacim Rosenlund who will give a lecture on what you can do to make recycling more exciting, or you can listen to Christina Dahlgren who will talk about what happens when art and science meet. There will also be a student workshop on student well-being. The day will be concluded with a panel discussion on this year’s theme: “Towards global sustainable well-being”.

On 3 May at 11–14, there will be activities on site in building Radix at Universitetskajen in Kalmar. The concert and some of the other activities will be held at the Universituy Library, house Stella, in Kalmar.
