Are you an international student or an out-of-home student at our university and feel that your
level of psychophysical well-being is not satisfactory? Do you struggle to feel good about
yourself and others? Take part in our initiative created in collaboration with the Centro
Universitario Sportivo - Brescia!
The initiative is part of the PRO-BEN project, a project funded by the Ministry of University
and Research in which as many as eight Italian universities are involved. The main aim of the
PRO-BEN project is to promote psychophysical wellbeing and combat psychological and
emotional discomfort among the student population.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
The university years represent a period full of opportunities, but at the same time they can
cause high levels of stress, especially for those who are facing an international experience or
have left their city and their affections to follow the university course and have to cope with
various obstacles including adaptation to new cultural norms, communication difficulties,
isolation and homesickness. All of this can lead to psychological malaise, anxiety and
difficulties in managing relationships and university life.
Numerous studies show that physical activity is a powerful ally in reducing anxiety and
depression, regulating sleep and improving concentration and performance during study and
exams. In addition, physical activities carried out in groups become opportunities to get to
know other students, chat and expand one's social network.
By participating in our initiative, you will be able to access many of C.U.S. BRESCIA's courses and activities for free!
HOW DOES THE INITIATIVE WORK?
If you decide to take part in the initiative, you will be able to obtain FREE membership of
C.U.S. Brescia for the current year and, again free of charge, you will be able to undergo the
medical examination required to access their sports activities. Once you have become a
member, you will be able to participate at no cost in two activities per week (of your choice),
for a period of 10 consecutive weeks.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
To be able to participate, you must:
- Be enrolled in a degree course at the University of Brescia.
- Be an international or off-campus student. Find out if you are an off-site student (see art. 8
DSU notice page 16).
- Not have a physical condition or illness that prevents or makes exercise risky.
