Nurturing Social Connections for Personal Well-being
Social Connections FAQ
How do I contact Swinburne's social connection research team?
If your organisation would like to collaborate with us to solve a complex problem, or you simply want to contact our team, get in touch by calling +61 3 9214 8180 or emailing [email protected]. The social connection research program works to promote and measure social connection and the impact on people, community and innovation.
How do I find a social club near me?
Websites like Meetup make it easy to find local social clubs, so check out what’s near you and try and go in with an open mind. You can also look for social club events on Facebook using ‘find events near me’ feature. Forming new friendships takes time and effort, so don’t expect anything to happen overnight.
How do you connect with people with similar interests?
Photography, food, hiking and more are great ways to link up with people with similar interests. Make a point of putting away your digital devices when interacting with people you want to bond with. Research shows that having a smartphone nearby may distract us and make it harder to connect. Consider volunteerism.
