Wellness March, a major annual programme of CityU, encourages staff and students to take part in a variety of activities for physical and mental well-being.

In its 20th anniversary this year, the programme was delivered under the theme “Exercise is Medicine” and provided more than 60 activities from February through April 2016, including various sports events, talks and workshops as well as mental health activities series. Wellness-Plus Awards Scheme also served to encourage the CityU community to actively involve in wellness programmes for a healthy and fruitful life.

Highlights of the programme:

“Exercise is Medicine” is a global event initiated by the American College of Sports Medicine. The idea is that regular exercise not only boosts health and prevents sickness, but also generates greater productivity.
