UCC and MTU sign Healthy Campus Charters
A Healthy Campus adopts a holistic understanding of health, takes a whole campus approach and aspires to create a learning environment and organisational culture that enhances the health and wellbeing of its community and enables people to achieve their full potential.
On Monday 09 January, University College Cork (UCC) and Munster Technological University (MTU) signed Healthy Campus Charters for their respective institutions, pledging to make campuses healthier places to study, work, and research the wellbeing of future generations. The signing of the charters at an event in UCC was attended by student and staff representatives from UCC and MTU, as well as Higher Education Authority National Healthy Campus Co-ordinator Caroline Mahon.
Having signed the charter, each institution pledges to appoint Healthy Campus Co-ordinators and form steering groups to consult with students and staff. This consultation will lead to the development and implementation of a holistic, whole-campus approach to promoting health.
The Higher Education Healthy Campus Charter and Framework highlights that Higher Education Institutions are uniquely placed to influence and transform society through research, teaching and learning, developing new knowledge and understanding about promoting health and wellbeing, leading by example, advocating to decision makers for the benefit of society and influencing the future decision‑makers.
In partnering with our students and staff, and by leveraging on the incredible internal expertise of academic, research and professional communities, we can take advantage of the unique environment of a university campus, not only to improve individual health and wellbeing, but also to generate research outputs, create new knowledge, and learn how to do this better in more effective and sustainable ways.
