As a nation, we waste more food than we think. Did you know that we can help protect our planet by saving food? We have partnered with The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) charity and Love Food Hate Waste to take action against food wastage. We will also be taking part in the #FoodWasteActionWeek Challenge taking place on Monday 1st March - Sunday 7 March 2021. Will you join us?

This will be the UK’s first national week of action on wasting food, with activities happening across the whole of the UK. The Week will link organisations across the food supply chain and beyond to stop food from going to waste and curb the contribution it makes towards climate change.

Are you a postgraduate who teaches? Want to talk to others about your experiences? Or, haven’t had the chance to teach but are interested in what it’s like to teach?
 
The Teaching Café will be hosting its next PGR Tea(chers) on 3 March, at the earlier time of 11:00-11:45am.
 
The informal event will open with lightning talks from guest speakers on the topic, ‘Managing the movement of teaching from face-to-face to online', followed by a longer discussion that could lead pedagogically anywhere.

Here's what a couple of attendees said about the previous PGR Tea(chers):
- "Its fast pace allowed for quick and reactive exchanges, its horizontality meant that everybody was welcome to intervene freely"
- "Really great to hear from people with much more experience than I share their advice…"

Head to the Postgraduate Teachers Channel for more information and to attend - don't forget to bring a hot drink and a snack!

Join us for our regular “Tea and Talk” events, open to all Warwick students! A chance for you to meet, chat and have a virtual cuppa with students across the university; it is also a great way for you to stay connected with others during this difficult time, especially if you are self-isolating.

Mindfulness practice is one of the 5 ways to wellbeing recommended by the NHS. Doing regular mindfulness exercises can help manage daily stress and has impact areas of the brain related to memory retrieval, decision making, and outward attention.

Our free weekly workshops are a great way to try different mindfulness techniques if you are a beginner, and find dedicated space and time for regular practice. Join us online in the Events channel in Library Online Lounge (make sure to sign in MS Teams with your Warwick Account).

If would like to learn more about mindfulness practice, visit: Mindful Library To learn more about this and other Study Happy events, see our Facebook page.

This masterclass is aimed at Post Graduate Research (PGR) students to provide a snapshot of strategies and tips that you can use to look after your wellbeing.

We understand that as a PGR student you may be faced with challenges throughout your course both academically and personally; juggling study with work or family commitments, stress surrounding future career choices or pressures of a financial nature for example.

The session will provide you with advice on how to manage some of these and other challenges that may arise during your Post Graduate course. You will come away with a range of practical tools and resources that you can use to remain motivated, productive and that can help you to manage competing demands.

Starting this Wednesday 3 February at 5 pm, join SU's Speed Friending with Olly!

This event is all about making new online friends with quick-fire rounds, packed with conversation starters to help get some social interaction back into our lives!

Dr Leonie Ansems de Vries joins us to present her work on migration in Europe, including a screening of her video short Migrant Agency and the Moving Image.

This presentation and video screening focuses on the politics of exhaustion in migratory spaces of transit in Europe. Politics of exhaustion refers to the ways in which exhaustion is employed as a tool of governance to control people forced to (not-)move and how it is endured and resisted as a lived experience. It highlights the violent impacts of the management of movement; its accumulated effects over time and across spaces. The short video screening shows these practices at play in the informal migrant spaces in Northern France. Drawing on intersectional scholarship, the presentation will also discuss how strategies of exhaustion are disrupted and resisted by migrants and those supporting them, even though these struggles often remain closely entangled with violent bordering practices.

To join our Teams webinar, please click here slightly before the start time and do let us know if you experience any difficulties in joining. It would be helpful if you could let us know in advance that you plan to join.
