Brunel is Happy to Chat – Research & Practice 

• Tuesday 12th March, Eastern Gateway Building Auditorium & Atrium, starting at 4:00pm

In March, we’ve lined up a fantastic Happy to Chat programme for everyone, not only Brunel students and staff, but also open to publics!

• Why are we offering this time?  

We invited Dr Gillian Sandstrom from Sussex University to deliver a research talk on the “benefits of talking to strangers”. This is followed by a workshop, where you get to role play and pick up a few tips about how to chat to strangers. Afterwards, there are the same usual pizza happy hours, where you can enjoy talking to each other, while having some tasty pizza together.

• Why are we doing this? 

We would like to make our campus a friendlier and more inclusive place for everyone. Hence we are promoting “talking to each other” on campus.

• Where can you find us?

Eastern Gateway Building Auditorium & Atrium on March 12th.

From 4pm to 8pm, you can drop in for interesting research talks, workshops and some pizza and a soft drink, while enjoying a conversation with each other, as one big community.

• What will you get?

Feeling like you are part of a friendly community, while enjoying some pizza and soft drink and having a chat with each other.

Meanwhile, we will be giving away multi-language Happy to Chat badges. So hopefully, everyone can find a badge that says Happy to Chat in one’s own mother tongue, in addition to English!

• What can you bring with you?

A lovely smile will do! We will bring some board games and card games for everyone to play so that we can have a laugh together.

• Why should you participate? 

Hmmm… by coming over to this event and talking to each other, we are together fostering a friendly and inclusive community for all of us, including students and staff and people in our neighbourhood community! Together, let’s promoting wellbeing and create happiness for everyone!

Looking forward to seeing you there.
