Overview

It can be difficult to find time to socialise with peers and prioritise your well-being when working on research activities. We often work around tight deadlines and schedules, meaning that we neglect opportunities to take a break from work or to prioritise our physical and mental health. This event, which involves a 1-hour group walk around Botanic Gardens, has been organised to provide Postdocs and research staff the opportunity to change this. We will meet outside the main entrance to the Ulster Museum (Botanic Gardens, Belfast, BT9 5AB) at 12:00 and then proceed on a walk around the gardens.

Attendees are welcome to invite their friends, family or children to join. Any attendee who brings their children must be responsible for their safety during the walk. Whilst we hope for a sunny day, it is possible that the weather will have other ideas. As such, if there is rain, each attendee is expected to dress appropriately. Regardless of the weather, we hope that this event will provide a chance to support the physical and mental well-being of all attendees.

Please register if you plan to attend this well-being walk to give us an idea of numbers.
