About the HOME series:

During the Autumn term the Chaplaincy will be hosting a series of events and workshops to help students feel at home at Loughborough. These events are loosely based around research undertaken in the HOME Centre for Doctoral Training at Loughborough University (for more information on their research see: HOME CDT – Harnessing Opportunities for Meaningful Environments (meaningofhome.uk) ). In particular we are seeking to help students reduce and overcome their feelings of homesickness by enabling them to form new emotional connections with their new home at Loughborough, and connect creatively with their previous experiences of home.  Building on the research undertaken by HOME CDT, events will encourage emotional connections by building habits and routines, creating objects with sentimental or practical use and connecting with others through shared activities.
