Unconventional spaces for student wellbeing self-management

Project Overview

Student wellbeing at school is an urgent priority that needs collaborative consideration. This project investigates with students how and where they already self-manage their wellbeing at school, with a focus on unconventional spaces. The mixed methods study led by an inter-disciplinary research team will enable students, alongside partners from education, architecture, and wellbeing, to deeply explore under-represented everyday wellbeing experiences at school.
