The REAL University Challenge: Empowering Students to Become Flourishing Life-Long Learners

As a tutor, our ultimate goal is to help students not only excel academically but also in every aspect of their university life. We aim to foster their mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. However, with students facing unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety, and academic pressures mounting, we need support.

In this revised and updated edition of the classic guide, Fabienne Vailes shares valuable insights on how we can assist our students in developing a "tool box of well-being techniques" that will serve them throughout their university journey and beyond. By incorporating these techniques, we can not only support our students' well-being but also ensure our own.

Fabienne Vailes, an expert in emotional and mental well-being within the education sector, is on a mission to transform the landscape of education. She is dedicated to embedding well-being into the curriculum, creating an environment where students and staff thrive and become empowered lifelong learners who succeed academically and in the workplace.

The REAL University Challenge is not just about individual success; it is about fostering a culture of flourishing at an institutional level. By implementing systemic changes that prioritize well-being, universities can create a nurturing environment that nurtures the potential of every student and staff member.

In conclusion, as tutors, we have the power to make a significant impact on our students' lives. By empowering them to become flourishing life-long learners, we can help them navigate the challenges of university and beyond with resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Let us embrace this challenge and work together to create a brighter future for our students and ourselves.
