PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED. The power of creativity on our wellbeing is untapped yet right here in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, Creative Waikato is leading the way in helping us become healthier and more productive.
The University of Waikato Alumni & Friends warmly invites you to discover the power small, every day, moments of creativity have on your wellbeing with Dr Jeremy Mayall, CEO of Creative Waikato, former Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar, and alum of Waikato University.

Could creative activity be the key to the future of thriving workplaces? Dr Jeremy Mayall will share a playful exploration through the connection between art, creativity, play and the workplace.
Discover some of the social, cultural, and economic benefits that small, everyday moments of creativity can have on employee wellbeing.
Drawing upon international research, Dr Mayall will share the impact of daily creative activity as part of productive, innovative and thriving workplaces, and demonstrate some of the ways we can use play, imagination and thinking like an artist to support our mental health and wellbeing and that of our people.
Weaving together creative imagination with evidence-based insights, we can learn about habits that can be implemented into the workforce to establish greater work/life balance and employee productivity.
Join us for this informative, engaging, and highly creative networking workshop during Mental Health Awareness Week.
