At Leyden Academy on Vitality & Ageing, we believe that ageing is not just about living longer, but above all about living better. That is why, together with Proudies, we are organizing a special lecture on the question of how we can grow older in a vital, meaningful, and happy way.
Proudies is the platform for people aged sixty and over who are fully engaged in life. With a rich offering of stories, insights, practical tips, and events, Proudies provides inspiration in the areas of health, travel, personal development, work, and culture. From that mission, Proudies is now travelling across the country to join academics and experts in conversations about themes that matter after retirement, such as health, purpose, art, and culture. We are proud to kick things off on behalf of South Holland, with the theme: Living longer, living better.
During this special afternoon, Proudies ambassadors Patty Boermeester and Marieke Dresen will speak with Prof. Dr. David van Bodegom and Dr. Josanne Huijg of Leyden Academy on Vitality & Ageing. They will take you through the science behind ageing — from the biological processes in our bodies to the psychology of ageing happily. There will, of course, be time for questions from the audience, followed by an opportunity to continue the conversation over coffee and tea.
