Oasis of Radical Wellbeing opens on 17 November - join us!

Oasis of Radical Wellbeing researches the wellbeing of Aalto people, gathers wellbeing knowhow from around and outside Aalto, and spreads information about holistic wellbeing as an essential part of the Aalto everyday life – of the students, the teachers and the Aalto staff.

We think that contemplative practices and a dialogue about wellbeing are needed on the personal level, as well as as a part of our systemic thinking. This is essential for the sake of inclusivity, equity and diversity at Aalto.

See a short film. Enjoy the panel. Join the discussion!
