Mark your calendar! On Saturday, June 27, the City Hall transforms into a place where you can discover and do all sorts of things related to your health. Let yourself be surprised, try out activities yourself, and get handy tips you can put into practice immediately. Whether you want to move more, relax, eat healthier, or are simply curious – here you can experience health in a fun and accessible way.
What can you expect?
This year, the festival (last year known as the Leiden Knowledge Festival) is all about interaction and experience. Instead of long stories, the emphasis is on doing, testing, and discovering. Visitors can taste healthy food, perform measurements and health tests themselves, and participate in short workshops and exercise sessions. This is the opportunity to explore and learn about the factors that influence your health.
The Leiden Health Festival is organised by the Leiden Healthy Society Center. This is a unique collaboration between Universiteit Leiden, Hogeschool Leiden, mboRijnland, and gemeente Leiden. Together, they are on a mission to make Leiden one of the healthiest cities in the Netherlands.
