Pause & Play | Clayton

Relax and unwind with an afternoon of food, drink and active rest

As the semester rages on, we find that it becomes more important to carve out time between classes and other commitments to take a mindful break.

That's why we're hosting 'pause and play' sessions at Clayton and Caulfield! Join us for an afternoon of arts, crafts and other mindful activities. We'll provide Lego, art supplies, colouring books and mindfulness toys so that you can choose your own adventure.

We will also serve snacks and drinks, but mostly host a space where you can take a mindful break from your studies.

This year, we will also be hosting a sustainable DIY workshop in each of our Pause & Play sessions, featuring a sustainable expert/instructor. At the end of each session, we will present prizes for the "best" DIY. Spots for this workshop will be limited to a first come first serve basis.

 

Date: Tuesday, 13 August

Time: 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Venue: Graduate Seminar Room 2, Building 89, 21 Sports Walk, Clayton campus
