Learning Objectives
- Understand what matters to the body when learning.
- How to look after wellbeing and short exercises to help with this.
- Understand how diet, learning environment and sleep can aid or damage learning.
Session Description
In this session we teach students how making small changes to their lifestyle and learning environment can have a significant impact on the efficiency of their learning. Students discover what is important for the body in order to learn and retain new information. We discuss how different aspects such as our diet, learning environment and sleep can positively or negatively impact our learning and memory. In order to optimise learning, we teach students how to eat smart, train smart and rest smart. We show students short exercises to look after their day to day wellbeing which includes how to maintain a healthy relationship with social media, teaching students a simple, oxytocin-boosting activity that replicates the "buzz" of social media without the negative effects. By making small and simple adjustments, students will find learning easier and their attitude towards studying will be positively transformed.
