Wellbeing Walks: Origins and Innovations: Historic campus tours – meet outside Manchester Museum Café:
- Innovations Tour - 12-12.30pm: The first, our Innovations Tour, celebrates 200 years of the University’s innovations – our groundbreaking firsts and discoveries. It takes 25 minutes and tells the story of our innovators and how their pursuit of knowledge and discovery is shaping not only Manchester, but the world.
- Origins Tour - 12.45-13.15pm: The 15-minute tour explores the University’s radically progressive beginnings; how barriers in higher education and wider society were broken down to establish the foundations of the UK’s first civic University.

Throughout, there will be refreshments available and colleagues around to meet and chat to. There will be quiz books and colouring sheets and board games available if you are feeling competitive! Pick up some Time To Talk Day resources, learn about wellbeing support at the University of Manchester and learn how to improve your listening skills.
You could contribute to the poster collage around this year’s theme ‘get comfortable and start talking about mental health’.
