We support a wide range of workshops conceived and organized by members of our community throughout the year. Our next workshop will be held on Thursday, January 8, and its theme will be cultural wellbeing when moving from one cultural environment to another. In the workshop, we will hear about the similarities and differences between the cultures of wellbeing in Japan and Finland as a case study by Yuna Terawaki.
"Build Your Well-being Anywhere — Across Cultures, Across Borders"
Have you ever wondered if well-being can be something you “learn,” design, and carry with you, no matter where you go?
We are inviting international staff and students, and also Finnish students who have plans to study abroad, to join to hear and explore thoughts about wellbeing in different countries!
This workshop is designed to help you:
- Understand well-being both academically and practically
- Explore well-being across cultures
- Design your own personalized well-being compass in a multicultural setting
...This is not about receiving a “perfect answer”. It’s about crafting the answer that works for you, by exchanging real experiences and views with people across borders.
We draw on examples from Japan such as “Ikigai”, “Omotenashi”, and “Wabi-Sabi”.
The experience from this workshop will equip you with the ability to maintain your own well-being in any country and in any environment.
We hope that you register beforehand so that we know a little bit more about our workshop participants. There are places for maximum of 30 participants.
