Active Breaks

How can I get moving in between study sessions?

The Friedrich Schiller University Jena offers you many ideas on how to get moving in between with the freely accessible "Digital Active Break" pages. You can find them there: 

• Ideas for movement and activation between work or study sessions
• Worksheets for mindfulness and exercises for more inner peace
• And the "AudioMove" podcast (only available in german)

Here is an example video for a short exercise during an active break (only in german):

The offers of the Student Health Management

What does the University of Jena have to offer for exercise and relaxation?

In addition to the "Digital Active Break", the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena offers you a wide range of health courses!

You will find all offers here (only in German).

Application

Since it’s one thing to receive tips and quite another to put them into practice, we’ve developed a reflection exercise for the Digital Learning Kit that you can use regularly—perhaps in conversation with a fellow student. 

Take a look at the questions below as a conversation starter to help you discuss the module’s topics!
