EUniWell Student
The European University for Well-being is a collaboration between Linnaeus University and ten other European universities. The aim is to shape the university of the future, where students and their learning is in focus. Among other things, the collaboration aims to make it easier for students to move around between different campuses and to study courses at the different universities, either on location or online.
Teaching on the common courses within EUniWell will be characterised by problem-solving and co-creation, where students, academics, and external parties work together in interdisciplinary groups to solve current societal problems.
EUniWell Courses and Training
As a result of the EUniWell Alliance there is a joint catalogue for all educational offerings within the alliance. The catalogue is open to all students of the 11 memberuniversities. It offers a wide variety of courses and training related to the EUniWell thematic arenas as well as transversal well-being skills. It gives learners the opportunity to benefit from the expertise across Europe to customise and internationalise their career or study path. The EUniWell Courses and Training Catalogue encompasses both shared offers from one partner institution to others and co-created EUniWell offers. Courses and training can be offered in different formats: online, blended, or on site with short intensive formats.

“I perceived ESA as an opportunity to work with people on issues that challenge youth's experience of European Union”
Maria was a EUniWell and Linnaeus University representative at ESA25, The European Student Assembly, which took place in Strasbourg in the end of May.
The reason I applied for being a Linnaeus University/ EUniWell representative at ESA25 vas that I saw the open call for European Student Assembly at the organizer's social media account. The reason for applying for this event was the theme of each panel, with mental health being my priority and the fact that my Master's Programme in Leadership and Management has emphasized the importance of being proactive and reflecting over the moral aspects of one's actions, says Maria. In that sense, she says, I perceived ESA as an opportunity to work with people on issues that challenge youth's experience of European Union.
Maria tells us also that she attended the Europaforum at Linnaeus University during the spring of 2023, sparked an interesting in familiarizing with the policymaking aspects of EU and contributing to its improvement, to the extent it is possible.
Her overall impression of the days in Strasbourg and the ESA25 participation was both overwhelming and culturally enriching starting with the on-line preparatory stages from February until the middle of May. The reason is that the topic of the panel she was admitted to work with, was quite broad and even when they were asked to choose a subtopic, which in her case was the interplay between academic pressure and mental health, her group's policy recommendations had multiple directions while they should also respect a said word limit. However, she appreciated that her group members whose study field was different from hers, were equally dedicated on crafting a policy proposal of good quality.
Moving on to the experience of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, it's difficult to grasp the concept of working intensively for three days in a space that has such an impact on the lives of millions of citizens, says Maria. All those who made ESA 2025 possible are the embodiment of EU values. Starting from Linnaeus University and EUniWell staff and reaching to the coordinators, organisers and other panellists, she felt that institutions and policies can really improve when humans are willing to help each other. Meanwhile, she would like to highlight that despite the duration of the ESA from the morning until the afternoon on a daily basis, they had the opportunity to explore Strasbourg's cultural heritage and even cross the border within few minutes of walking and find out the hidden gems of the German city of Kehl. A summary of my ESA 25 experience is curiosity, collaboration and exploration.
For the future Maria hope that more students are granted this experiential learning opportunity that ESA is in its core and that EUniWell continues with its mission regarding the value of well-being within academia. Since now we are in the dissemination phase of our policy proposal, which was quite fortunately voted and adopted during our ESA sessions in the European Parliament says Maria. She hopes that her group's work is transformed into other formats, such as articles or workshops, so that the debate on academic pressure and policies tackling it at the EU level, opens up for more people.
