Abstract [en]

This report reviews the topic of mental health, focusing specifically on mental wellbeing addressing stress and anxiety amongst students. With the purpose of helping to improve the mental wellbeing of students, by creating a community where students can unwind from the stress of student life. Research and organised workshops were conducted in order to investigate the question: How to use visual communication as a tool to help relieve stress and anxiety for students at Linnaeus University (LNU)? 

Craftfulness is introduced as a concept and method to create a workshop toolkit. This report looks into the importance of craftfulness and creativity and how it helps improve mental wellbeing through the use of hands. The report concludes that visual communication can be used to create creative workshops that lead students to feel calm from the stresses of everyday student life.
