Hang out and paint is an open session for all students and staff to attend.
It follows the values and principles outlined by the boundary spanner programme whilst creating a calm and inclusive atmosphere to allow students from different demographics and interests to participate.
Sessions run weekly on Thursday from 4pm – 6pm, participants can drop in at any point during this period. All equipment is provided to partake in various creative activities including different mediums on canvas, miniature painting and crafts.In contrast to represent health we play calming classical based background music whilst still allowing participants to request music within this or similar genres.
Wellbeing staff attend all sessions, although there is no formal discussion or plan. Hang out and paint is a space for students to meet others from various stages of their education including masters and PHD students, communicate if they wish with peers or staff and explore their creative side in a safe informal environment.
