Connect & Create

​✨ Connect & Create Event

​"Mental wellbeing isn't only about talking about what's difficult. It's also about feeling connected, expressing ourselves, and giving ourselves space to reflect."

​ESN invites you to step away from the noise, put your phone aside, and focus on genuine human connection. Connect & Create is designed to skip the small talk and build real closeness through science-backed conversation prompts and creative self-expression.

​No artistic skill required - just an open mind!

​What to expect:

• ​📱 Digital detox & deep connection: A phone-free space focused on real, meaningful conversations.

• ​💬 Science-backed closeness: Guided discussion rounds in small groups to help you connect on a deeper level.

• ​🎨 Paint Your Mood & draw your feelings: Abstract art activities to express how you feel without words.

• ​🤝 A safe, welcoming space: Connect with fellow international students and international ESNers in a warm environment.

​Come as you are, leave feeling connected. 💛
