The 6th installment of the UCC Green Campus podcast is now available where we talk to UCC Lecturer in Applied Psychology. It is available to listen to on Spotify and Apple Podcasts at the below links. 

Annalisa talks about the benefits of nature for your attention, your stress levels and how it increases vitality. She moves on to how the covid pandemic has affected people’s relationship with nature. She talks about collaboration with the University of Bologna to capture people’s relationships with nature and to capture ideas on new green spaces and how we can improve existing ones.

She talks about the planning of green spaces and her involvement in Go Green Roots, an EU funded, and Irish based project looking at making green areas more accessible in European cities. She finishes by talking about “Success It’s in Our Nature”, an initiative between Annalisa, Graduate Attributes and Green Campus. It showcases all the ways students and staff can engage with nature on our campus to relieve stress at exam time, to enhance mental and physical health and wellbeing, enhance their academic and personal success and build their graduate attributes and values.
