Festival Gezond Verstand

It's almost here! On Monday, October 14, from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM, the Healthy Mind festival will take place. This event brings together people from municipalities, knowledge institutions, the GGD (Public Health Service), housing corporations, and the business sector, all committed to health. Because if we want a healthy society together, it's important that we know each other. Will you join us? Sign up now!

During the festival, the province of South Holland will present the Health and Well-Being program, with a special focus on the themes of food, a healthy living environment, and how the province is committed to these issues. We will then engage in a discussion with journalist and author Teun van de Keuken, urban planner Marianne Lefever, and professor of health policy Jessica Kiefte-de Jong about their vision on nutrition and a healthy living environment, and we will address the question: who is responsible for promoting the health of the people of South Holland?

Afterward, you can actively participate in one of our many workshops. How can you effectively reach young people within your field? How do you introduce a healthy lunch culture in your company? How do you create a healthy school environment? What are the best strategies for healthy urbanization? How can you collaborate with residents to come up with ideas that promote the health of a neighborhood? You will have plenty of options to choose from.

We will conclude with the launch of the Healthy Society program, a collaboration between Medical Delta, Leiden-Delft-Erasmus (LDE), and the universities of applied sciences. Annetje Ottow, chair of LDE, will kick things off. Together, we will experience what science can mean for the residents of South Holland.

Together, we will make South Holland a healthier place for everyone. Let's meet at the festival!
