Elementary school children on the move – and now seniors too, thanks to Max Vitaal

Exercise is important and healthy, for young and old. That is why Alderman Rob Reuvers of the municipality of West Maas en Waal handed over the first copy of the Max Vitaal booklet to Iny van Koolwijk. Iny has been committed to sports and exercise activities in the region since she was 18. She still organizes activities for various senior citizens' associations. It's no coincidence that she is mentioned multiple times in the Max Vitaal booklet!

160 activities for people aged 55 and older

This year, the Max Vitaal booklet offers no less than 160 different activities for adults aged 55 and over. The booklet helps them easily find a suitable activity and clearly explains how to register. Starting today, the booklet can be picked up for free at all village halls, multi-purpose accommodations, and libraries in the municipalities of Druten and West Maas en Waal.

Kids can get involved with Sjors Sportief & Creatief, too

It's not only the elderly who are encouraged to get active. On February 12, 2025, Sjors Sportief & Creatief launched a special activity booklet for young people in Druten and West Maas en Waal. This booklet invites primary school children to discover and try out new sports and cultural activities. Students can register directly via meedoeninmaasenwaal.nl for one or more activities.
Providers of sports and cultural initiatives can also register here. The booklet has proven to be a great success: in the first two weeks, 348 children have already registered for sports activities and 83 for cultural workshops.

Working Together Toward a Healthy Future

Through these initiatives, the municipalities are working to build a healthy, active, and engaged community. From young to old, everyone gets the chance to discover new activities, have fun, and stay active!
