Living Apart Together Nano-challenge

How do we also come out of the lockdown mentally healthy and happy?

Living Apart Together Nano-challenge

Dates: 19 to 23 April 2021
It is a flexible program with three meetings (Monday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon).

In cooperation with: University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, Utrecht University, ROC Midden-Nederland, Municipality of Utrecht, MIND Young and Thuisbesmet.nl

Why this challenge?

It will not have escaped your notice that we are living in a special, somewhat bizarre time. The government has taken all kinds of measures to help prevent the spread of the corona virus. A year ago we all put our shoulders to the wheel and felt united in our common fight against the corona virus. Now we are tired of fighting and the lack of perspective is breaking us down. In the media you hear and read all kinds of stories of people who are fed up or fed up and sometimes even both.

High time to let us hear from you. How do you make sure you get through your day whistling while making sure you don't catch a corona or infect others? What can you teach others about how to stay mentally healthy despite all the measures.
Sign up now for this nano challenge to design solutions together with other students to get through this time fit and vital and just because it's a really cool way to learn new things, meet other people and be part of the solution.

Why you?

Do you have a way to keep enough contact with friends and family, at a safe distance? Or to have enough attention for yourself in between Teams, Zoom, Clubhouse and Netflix?

Or are you at a loss, do you just need to hear from others how they manage and do you want to know if you can help?

You are the one who knows best what you need. And what works for you, might also work for others. So participate in this nano challenge: for yourself and for others. Only together we will get through the lockdown.

Why sign up?

During this challenge you will explore with other students and experts ways to get through the lockdown (mentally) healthy and happy.

- You work in an interdisciplinary team of students from ROC MN, HU and UU
- You get the latest insights on mental wellbeing and social contact at a distance
- You work on smart lockdown solutions, for yourself and for others.

What's the outcome?

At the end of the nano-challenge you will present your ideas to each other and to experts of the organisations involved, who will help you to further develop your ideas and support you where necessary.
