A Happiness Walk especially for schools, companies and other groups. Make your (work) outing a happy experience and go on a happiness walk together with residents of a nursing home. Happiness walks are tailor-made especially for you and guided by artist Misja Immink. Misja from Gelukswandelingen: “We view the environment through Gelukswandelers glasses. We joyfully share our discoveries and, while talking and wondering, we find happiness and each other. Outside. On the street. Connection through wonder.” Happiness walks have been specially created for residents of nursing homes, often vulnerable elderly people who do not often go outside, and happiness activists (volunteers). Under the guidance of artist Misja Immink, a cheerful wheelchair brigade explores the neighborhood for new types of happiness. In short, during a Happiness Walk you do something good for someone else and something beautiful together as a group. The impact is great; the elderly really enjoy the wonder and being outside together. Moreover, you will get to know Rotterdam very differently, partly thanks to the surprising assignments. During the activity there is plenty of room for a short introduction and explanation. A contribution is requested for a group happiness expedition. For more information you can send us a message. See also our website [website hidden] for more information.
