HSE student associations, the Student Initiative Support Centre and the Centre for Leadership and Volunteer Work have teamed up to hold a ‘Self-care Month’ campaign in October.

‘Self-care Month’ is a series of events aimed at getting to know student organisations, other students and yourself. Announcements will be published on the HSE Extra website (in Russian) with the tag 'Месяц для себя' (‘Self-care Month’. The list will be updated, and students will have more opportunities to spend time in the university community.

Weaving Luck

The HSE Jewish Club invites you to attend the ‘Weaving Luck’ event.

Wearing a red string is one of the popular Jewish customs associated with the absolution of sins on Yom Kippur. Today, many people believe that with its help, you can protect yourself and your family from envy and the evil eye.

At our event, you will learn more about the meaning of the red string, as well as participate in a relaxing master class on weaving baubles. You can keep the bracelet you create for yourself or give it to your loved ones. Be sure to come!
