Growing Well Together: UEH Youth Spread the Message of UEH Wellbeing & Flourishing

29 Sep, 2026

In support of the UEH Wellbeing & Flourishing initiative, which aims to create a university environment that promotes holistic happiness and wellbeing, the UEH Youth Union and Student Association launched the “Growing Well Together” Online Challenge to encourage students to actively adopt positive habits in their daily lives. Through two stages of online activities, the program attracted enthusiastic participation from a large number of students, gradually bringing the values of wellbeing closer to the UEH community.

Putting Values into Practice Through a Series of Engagement Activities

As part of its participation in the launch and promotion of the UEH Wellbeing & Flourishing Project, the UEH Youth Union and Student Association organized the “Growing Well Together” Online Challenge series, comprising two phases designed to communicate the project's message through practical, accessible activities relevant to students' everyday lives.

Phase 1, themed “To Do List – Top Things UEHers Should Do to Stay Healthy and Full of Energy,” focused on encouraging students to develop and maintain healthy habits in their daily lives. Through a checklist format, self-care activities were translated into specific, achievable, and sustainable goals.

Building on the first phase, Phase 2, “Growing Well Together,” expanded participation across four action categories: Healthy Body, Happy Meal, Focus & Resilience, and Flourish. Students were encouraged to document their real-life experiences corresponding to each category, demonstrating how wellbeing can be practiced in their personal lives.

Following its implementation, the Growing Well Together initiative recorded 41,507 engagements across its communication posts, 5,239 students participating in the Online Challenge series, and a total communication reach of 470,479.

These results demonstrate students' interest and active engagement in the initiative, while also reflecting the reach of its message through online interactive activities.

Spreading the Spirit of “Grow Well Together” Across the UEH Community

Through the “Growing Well Together” initiative, the UEH Youth Union and Student Association helped translate the UEH Wellbeing & Flourishing Project into interactive activities tailored to students, while creating opportunities for the wider community to participate in and promote the project's message.

From everyday self-care practices to meaningful moments shared with the community, every student's participation helped bring the spirit of “Grow Well Together” closer to UEH students. In doing so, the initiative not only generated community engagement but also marked the beginning of wider efforts to promote wellbeing values throughout the university environment.

About UEH Wellbeing – Flourishing University

The UEH Wellbeing – Flourishing University Project, an initiative to create a holistic university environment that fosters happiness and wellbeing, is one of the 10 flagship projects under UEH's Multidisciplinary and Sustainable Development Strategy. It aims to establish a positive, inclusive, human-centered, and sustainable environment for learning, working, and connecting across the UEHer community.

During its initial implementation phase in 2026, UEH brings this vision to life through four accessible areas of action: Healthy Body – staying physically active and maintaining physical fitness; Happy Meal – adopting balanced and healthy eating habits; Focus & Resilience – caring for mental wellbeing; and Flourish – pursuing personal development, nurturing positive connections, and creating value for the community.
