Presented by Dr Lydia Woodyatt, this interactive session explored how we can reframe our understanding of change in higher education to better support wellbeing, not just for individuals, but for entire systems. Drawing on psychological science and lived experience, Dr Woodyatt will unpack models of change, motivation, and psychosocial safety that can help us thrive in an environment of ongoing transformation.
