A THRIVE x Sustainability x Staff Wellbeing Event

In this collaboration between THRIVE, Sustainability and Staff Wellbeing, we're getting you to Engage by coming to our bauble making workshop. Sunny Eco Jar Hub will be teaching you how to make Christmas decorations using upcycled paper.

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

ENGAGEMENT

Arts and crafts are a great way to get your body and mind to focus on the task at hand. As you carefully put together your upcycled Christmas decorations, consider each action and the placement of your paper. Take your mind away from work, away from stress, and towards the task at hand.

RELATIONSHIPS

If you like, this is a great way to get chatting with your peers, as you bond of the session. On top of that, you may be making a decoration you intend to give to a loved one! I'm sure they'll appreciate the work, care and imagination you've put in. Sharing is a great way to bond with another - whether that's a shared experience or through gift giving (tis the season, after all).

ACCOMPLISHMENT

You're doing a little bit of good for the planet by using upcycled materials, and little good for yourself by making your own decorations. Feel proud of what you've done, the positive action you've taken for the planet, and the time you've dedicated to trying something new.
