The Leiden Health Festival is the meeting place where knowledge institutions, the municipality and societal partners come together to showcase their contributions to health and wellbeing in our society. The Leiden Healthy Festival is organised by the Leiden Healthy Society Center.
What does ‘healthy living together’ mean when knowledge, policy and everyday practice truly meet? In a conversation with LHSC key figure Anke Klein, it becomes clear what the Leiden Healthy Society Center stands for: bringing together what often remains separate — science, lived experience and societal questions.
Curious about last year’s knowledge festival? Do take a look! At the time, the festival was organised under the name: Leiden Knowledge Festival.
Contributions
For this edition, we are looking for contributions that actively engage visitors. We build on last year’s content, but place a stronger emphasis this year on interaction and experience, such as: installations and activities where participants can experience, measure or try something themselves.
Do you already have a strong proposal for a suitable programme element? Let us know via healthysocietycenter@leiden.nl. Any questions? Please contact Susanne Roodhuyzen via s.a.roodhuijzen@fsw.leidenuniv.nl
