What place has well-being in a student\u2019s life? How is it considered by Higher Education Institutions? By student organizations? In order to better understand what\u2019s at stake for student well-being in Europe, Animafac and 6 other European partners work together within the WISE Project Well-Being Innovations for Students in Europe.<\/b><\/p>\n

Many students suffer from problems of malaise, as shown by numerous studies and research. Some groups of students are particularly vulnerable to issues of well-being, due to the discrimination they already face (e.g. refugees, people with disabilities). Since the beginning of 2020, the health crisis has had a strong impact on students’ well-being (virtual absence of student life, need to adapt to new learning methods, integration difficulties, significant deterioration in mental health, etc.). In addition, new forms of malaise are emerging, such as eco-anxiety, which affects 15% of young people (2016 IPSOS survey).

Lately, the Covid crisis has shown us how important is the social, cultural and civic part of student life for the well-being of students. This project is specifically focused on student life which is an important part of their well-being. By student life, we mean all activities that make the daily life of students: lessons, cultural activities on their campus, social relationships, citizenship activities and volunteering on their campus, student restaurant, health services, and other facilities. It seems necessary for universities and student organizations to take action and cooperate better in order to improve well-being and student life in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, the WISE project promotes and encourages well-being in student life within the European Higher Education field. This project aims to identify what is important for the well-being of students and how universities and student organizations can act within student life policies in favour of student well-being. Along the 3 years of the project, the consortium will:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
