I’m into building community through cooperativeness, so I would like to propose a series of fun and meaningful activities. I want to effectively communicate needs and requests that are particularly urgent for students wellbeing. (like the water dispenser).
I have many ideas that would be great to execute to make this year at our accommodation more enjoyable and meet as many people as possible. Among my proposals are:
Spa / beauty salon day: Anyone who has special skills like cutting hair, doing nails, make up etc get to show off their talent while others enjoy the service.
Tour around the World / International Night: a get together where students share a traditional dish and insights from their home country.
Yoga/Meditation/Exercise sessions: create spaces for shared meditation, yoga sessions or short workouts for well being.
Workshops on interesting topics or handcrafts: candle making, origami, nutrition, universe, environment and more. Students with knowledge/experience in different areas get to share it with others.
PubCrawls: organizing outings based on people’s experience and favorite spots to get the most of our area.
I am engaging, communicative and entertaining.
I like listening to others opinions and perspectives to make important decisions or inspire change. Let’s work together to make the most of our stay at Urbanest!
I would like to help build up a community at King's Cross accommodation, where UCL students can meet and interact with each other be it during events or on casual meetings in the common room. I believe the communal space is a great environment that is not used to its full potential by the students, a space where everyone should feel encouraged to interact and connect with others.
During my time as a course representative as well as president of the psychology society at my previous university, I learned that a little initiative, a good event here and there, are enough to encourage new connections and help people build their community. I have experience with organising interactive events and engaging people into getting to know one another. I believe that in collaboration with the SU, we can make Urbanest more than a place where people live and help people socialise and feel less lonely.
I have actively listened to some of the resident's complaints and suggestions. I learned that many people wish there were more occasions to bond with one another, to get to know their neighbours. If I am elected as a hall representative I will make it my mission to make these proposals into reality.
