For more than 28 years, OLC Europe has been helping learners move forward through higher education.​

Since 1998, our focus has remained on inclusive learning, academic development and giving students the skills to progress with confidence.​

That experience continues to shape how we teach, support and prepare students for their next step.​

Because higher education should do more than award a qualification, it should help you build a stronger future.​

😴 Mental Health Fact #4

Think your brain switches off when you go to sleep? Think again!

While we sleep, our brains remain busy processing emotions, organising memories and preparing us for the day ahead. Getting enough quality sleep can play an important role in supporting our mood, concentration and overall mental wellbeing.

As we get closer to World Mental Health Day on 10 October, it’s a good reminder that looking after our mental health can include the everyday things too and that includes giving our minds time to rest and recharge.

The OLCEC’26 International Education Conference is taking place on 17 November 2026, bringing together a range of perspectives, ideas and conversations across our four conference streams. 🎓

Our fourth and final stream is 'Understanding the Wellbeing and Cultural Dimensions of Human Existence.'

Stream 4 will explore the different factors that shape our wellbeing, identity and sense of belonging, looking at areas including health and quality of life, cultural identity, inclusion, social connection and communities at both a local and global level.

Join us this November as all four streams come together for a day of shared knowledge, discussion and new perspectives.

🎨 Mental Health Fact #3

Did you know that getting creative can have a positive impact on your mental wellbeing?

Activities such as art, music and writing can provide an outlet for our thoughts and emotions, while also helping us to manage stress and switch off from everyday pressures.

Taking time to do something creative isn’t just about the end result. Even simply enjoying the process can be good for our minds.

With World Mental Health Day coming up on 10 October, we’re continuing to shine a light on the different ways we can understand and support our mental wellbeing. 💙

🧠 Mental Health Fact #2

Have you ever smelled a certain perfume, food or familiar scent and instantly been taken back to a memory?

That’s because our sense of smell is closely connected to the parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory, which is why certain scents can bring back feelings and moments so quickly.

Our minds are constantly responding to the world around us, often in ways we don’t even realise. Learning more about these connections can help us better understand our emotions and mental wellbeing.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing more interesting facts as we lead up to World Mental Health Day on 10 October.

🧠 Mental Health Fact #1

Did you know your brain uses around 20% of your body’s energy, despite making up only about 2% of your body weight?

Our brains are constantly working and helping us think, learn, process emotions and navigate everyday life. It’s a good reminder that looking after our mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after our physical health. 💙
