20 June - International Slowness Day
Overall, slowing down will help you make better decisions, connect deeper with people, have more meaningful experiences, all while improving your mental well-being by avoiding burnout. You may go slower, but you will go further. By slowing down and intentionally placing your true values at the heart of your lifestyle, a slow living mindset encourages you to live in self-awareness and make conscious, purposeful decisions for the benefit of your well-being and that of the planet.

The International Slowness Day is an occasion to reflect on the role that slowness can play for our students, in their study activities and in the optimal organization of their days to achieve their goals.
