“Creativity is intelligence having fun”, at least that is what Albert Einstein said. And while university is filled with the latter, creativity often comes short. Especially at the faculty of science, the high amount of contact hours leaves little to no space for non-study related activities, which is resembled in the students’ mental health. With this activity, we want to provide a space for students to come together and work creatively by painting images or making collages. The concept is simple: One students starts an image, and hands it down in a circle after a certain interval, so every attendee gets a very special piece of art. The activity is designed such to provide students with the space to talk about their experiences with regards to mental health, or to simply bond.
