We all want to promote vital vocational education students. How is this achieved at your school? Are there successes or obstacles to share, and do you need additional expertise on healthy lifestyles and the Healthy School approach? Together with Vitaal mbo, Gezonde School is organising the inspiration afternoon ‘Working together on a healthy lifestyle in vocational education’. This in-person meeting will take place on 9 February 2023 from 12:00 to 16:00 at ROC Rijn IJssel in Wageningen.
The afternoon starts with a healthy lunch. Connection, exchange and successful collaboration are at the heart of this afternoon. The inspiration afternoon is intended for Healthy School coordinators and other staff members of vocational schools who work on healthy lifestyles in vocational education and Healthy School advisers.

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
