Pause & Explore (Nature on Campus UiS Ullandhaug)

😴 From one lecture to the next, we often forget to take a break and notice the environment around us. Yet research shows that slowing down and spending time outdoors can help with recovery from mental fatigue, support perspective-taking, and foster creativity. Campus is full of nature — forest, botanical gardens, and small details we usually walk right past that shape how we feel.

🍃 Join a walk through campus green spaces. We'll follow a route together, pausing along the way to reflect on what we notice (a notebook and pen are available if you like). No experience or preparation needed — just come as you are. If you'd like to help our research, we'll also ask you to share a bit about your experience afterward. These walks are organized as part of a visiting PhD research project. 

Where: We meet at Kjell Arholms gate 41, 4021, in front of the small white hut (map (https://maps.app.goo.gl/d25H9yc7yPfTrUDG8))
