To enhance the mental wellbeing of students through group-base student-initiated projects, a PolyU Wellness Fund was set up by SAO. We are honoured to have teams of student organisers conducting such innovative and wonderful workshops/activities for all PolyU students in the past few months. Let’s share the happy moments together.
Project Highlights of 2021/22 (Semester One)

This project encourages students to express their feelings, as well as to enhance their awareness and understanding of emotions.
