During the live broadcast, prospective Members of Parliament participating in the national elections on 17 March will explain their vision for the next four years. Which prospective Member of Parliament really wants to focus on prevention and a healthy lifestyle during the next term of office? Who has a comprehensive plan to make the Netherlands more resilient and healthier?
Being able to be yourself in sport is the basis for enjoying sport and a healthy lifestyle! (Quote from Karin Blankenstein, chairperson of the John Blankenstein Foundation)
All this takes place under the inspiring leadership of Martijn de Greve. The prospective Members of Parliament are given the opportunity to share their views on the following points:
- What is the way forward for a strong Netherlands after the coronavirus crisis?
- How can local cooperation in the areas of health, prevention and social cohesion be strengthened?
- What role do sports and exercise providers play in making the Netherlands healthier and more energetic?
- How high is prevention on the agenda and what is the corresponding role of employers and health insurers?
Who are these prospective Members of Parliament? And which well-known Dutch figures from the worlds of sport, exercise, healthcare, science and welfare will be explaining these points? After registering, you will receive a confirmation and we will introduce them to you in the run-up to 4 March.
In short, it promises to be an interesting programme focusing on the health of the Dutch population over the next four years. You can register below and you will receive the link and the latest information shortly before the programme is broadcast.
“It is now clearer than ever: sport and exercise deserve a central place in our daily lives” (Quote Anneke van Zanen-Nieberg, chairperson of NOC*NSF)
