R U OK? Day 2022 – Online Trivia

The theme of R U OK? Day 2022 is 'No Qualifications Needed'.

Hobbies are important for our mental and physical wellbeing, giving us space to recharge and focus on things that interest us and bring us joy. For a lot of people, hobbies also create a powerful outlet to connect with friends and family, through quality time and shared experiences. You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy your hobbies, and you also don't need to be an expert to have an R U OK? conversation.

Join us for online trivia!

This R U OK? Day (Thursday 8 September), you’re invited to join us for ‘Hobbies’ themed online trivia, run by your Deakin Wellbeing Ambassadors.

Wear something yellow to show your support for R U OK? Day, and answer questions about popular (and not so well-known) hobbies and pastimes that bring people together and keep life fun!

Prizes

We have four (4) $50 Woolworths vouchers up for grabs (winners could use these to try a new hobby in the kitchen!) These prizes will be awarded to the winners of each trivia round, with a limit of 1 prize per participant.

Joining the event

This event will be run online via Zoom, with questions delivered through online trivia platform Kahoot. Attendees will be provided with Zoom login details upon Eventbrite registration, and Kahoot logins will be shared during the event.

R U OK? Day – A conversation could change a life.

R U OK? Day (Thursday 8 September 2022) is an annual day to remind us to reach out to those in our world who may be struggling. You don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a great listener.

There’s a heap of helpful resources to assist you in asking the question to friends and loved ones, as well as where to get help. Don’t know how to approach the conversation with someone you think may be struggling? Check out R U OK's helpful guides here.
