How can we support young people and young adults to get moving again?
In this challenge, we challenge you to design healthy solutions for young people. To regain energy mentally and physically and to give everyone the chance to grow up healthy (further).
With the help of health experts, you will work in a team with students from MBO, HBO and WO on a solution using design thinking and healthy design principles, focusing on the following themes:
Sign up now for this challenge, to design solutions together with other students from university, ROC and college for a healthy city to grow up in.
We would like to hear from you what you think a healthy city should look like. How we can offer young people more opportunities to play sports and exercise, meet each other or find peace and quiet.
During this challenge, you will explore with other students and experts in what ways young people can live healthier lives and what the city can offer you to do so.
- You will work in an interdisciplinary team of students from MBO, HBO and WO together
- You get the latest insights on health and learn more about design thinking and concept development
- You work on concrete healthy solutions, for yourself and for others.
At the end of the challenge, you will present your ideas to the organisations involved in Health Hub Utrecht.
For the most valuable usable ideas, they investigate how to take them further and try them out.
Signing up for the Healthy Living Challenge, or do you have any questions?
With the Sustainable Campus Challenge, we challenge student teams to think about a more sustainable and healthy world and come up with concrete solutions that we can already use at the USP (Utrecht Science Park). Many organisations are already working on these themes at the USP, such as the RIVM, UMC Utrecht, Utrecht University and Utrecht University.
In 2020, the first edition of this challenge took place. Nearly 140 students then worked on solutions such as pocket parks for more peace and quiet, an energy campaign for residents, CO2 awareness for travellers and circular coffee cups.
