Stress Relief Week as a part of NU Library efforts to fulfill Sustainable Development Goals
Many of the activities during Stress Relief Week align with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to well-being, education, and sustainable communities.
1. Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well‑Being
This is the primary goal supported by Stress Relief Week.
Activities such as drawing, painting, handicrafts, table games, and relaxing creative workshops help reduce stress, improve mood, and support students’ mental health during the demanding end-of-semester period.
2. Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education
By creating a supportive environment for students’ well-being, the library contributes to improved learning outcomes. Activities such as book exhibitions and creative workshops encourage lifelong learning, creativity, and intellectual engagement beyond the classroom.
3. Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Events that bring students together in a safe and supportive campus space help strengthen a sense of community, inclusiveness, and social connection, important elements of sustainable and resilient communities.
