The Department of Public Health, held a staff and student gathering in 2024. Activities gave participants an opportunity to meet outside formal teaching sessions and build connections within the department.

The gathering encouraged teamwork, informal communication and a sense of belonging among students and staff. These relationships contribute to a supportive learning environment and create opportunities for continued academic engagement.

Opportunities for staff and students to interact informally can improve communication and strengthen the wider academic community.

By promoting student wellbeing and a supportive learning environment, the gathering relates to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). Its focus on staff–student cooperation also reflects SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
