Covid-19 has created a sudden halt our day to day life. The world is at a standstill, death tolls are sadly very high, and the future of the economy is uncertain. Our mental health has been greatly affected and most people don't know what the post-Covid world looks like.
Universities, like many other establishments, have shut. Students are home and isolated from peers and their university community. During this time, it's important to look after ourselves and each other, and keep up good spirits.
We believe that it's important to try and share happiness and fun through our app and keep the student community strong. If UniSalad can't be used for its original purpose, then we should try and use it for something else which will benefit students.
We have carried out student surveys on how UniSalad should be used whilst everyone is home. The idea of pivoting the app to an ‘information, wellbeing and entertainment' platform has been popular amongst feedback.
We have therefore decided to provide content for the following:
We will be pushing at least one type of content a day Monday to Friday to keep you up to date, sane and entertained. Feel free to post something yourself, we would love for you to join in!
We hope you enjoy the content, and make sure to stay safe.
