Social battery traffic light system
We really want everyone to feel welcome and to enjoy the Feel Good Fest in a way that is comfortable for them.
This year we're using a social battery traffic light system so that it is easy for everyone to know if you'd like to be approached or would like to just enjoy the event without talking to others.
When you arrive, choose a Red, Amber or Green sticker to wear to indicate your energy levels and how you'd like to be approached. 🔴🟠🟢
Feel Good Week
Feel Good Fest is part of a week of fun events to celebrate reaching the end of another academic year, running 13 to 19 May 2024.
Get some much-needed headspace from your assessments and learn ways to manage stress and stay well.
