Global De-Stress Challenge
The middle of a semester nearly always comes with some stressors, and the middle of a semester in a once-in-a-hundred-years pandemic has added more stress for many. Countries and cultures around the world have different ways of managing stress and relaxing. Pull a page from a (foreign) book and try some out! The Global De-Stress Challenge runs for the month of March. IP students who participate will be invited to join a Tasty Treats get-together in April with snacks and treats from a local restaurant (all outdoors and distanced of course).
To participate, select one global destressing tradition from this list and implement it for at least 10 days, in accordance with the instructions on the challenge webpage. Then, write up a few sentences about how the experience was for you and email it to internationalplan@oie.gatech.edu by April 1st.
See the challenge options at https://ip.oie.gatech.edu/DeStress.
