First Kambri Market happening this Friday
Friday 28 April, 12-4pm
EOIs are still open for Kambri Market stallholders.
The Joplin Lane Markets will provide a great opportunity for staff and students to sell their items in a sustainable way. It’s free to have a stall, we just ask that you don’t sell food or drink. To book a stall space, contact Geraldine or Dharmesh via Kambri.venues@anu.edu.au.
If you don't have anything to sell, come and enjoy the Joplin Lane Friday music sessions while indulging in some lunch at the Kambri tenancies and grooving to some awesome tunes, all while supporting a sustainable event initiative.
Own Your Belonging Workshops
“Feeling accepted and a part of the ANU community has been essential to my journey living away from home, as it has allowed me to create new life-long friendships and study what I am passionate about in an inclusive, supportive environment.” – Natalia, First-Year Experience (FYE) Student Leader
"Belonging and connectedness are so important to me in my university experience as they allow me to manage and cope with all of the challenges of university life." – Georgie, FYE Student Leader
Do you feel like you belong at ANU? If not, it’s likely you’re not alone. According to one recent report only 12 per cent of university students feel like they totally belong (Salesforce, 2022). We each have our own sense of belonging and it can be difficult to feel like we belong in a new or unfamiliar environment.
Research shows that students who feel a sense of belonging and connectedness at university are more likely to be academically confident and have a better university experience (Pearson and WONKHE, 2022; Salesforce, 2022). That is why ANU First-Year Experience has partnered with DBL (Development Beyond Learning) and Amanda Aravena to present ‘Own Your Belonging’ – a one-off, custom-designed, 90 minute workshop. This workshop will examine the science of belonging and its importance in our lives, share ideas on how to enhance it, and provide techniques to grow it over time.
Come to the next Own Your Belonging Workshop...
When: Wednesday 26 April, 1.15pm and 3.15pm
Where: ANU Community Connect (Copland Building)
