VITALity for the Future
This is a website that offers free flexible learning materials developed for you to train young people in Vocational Education and Training & existing employees in the vitality sector.
Why is vitality and positive health so important?
The rapidly ageing European population is presenting & highlighting new social & health issues as well as putting a huge strain on health resources. Governments cannot afford year on year increases in funding for health facilities & community care. Positive health improves well-being, the quality of life & the possibility of ageing happily.
How Positive Health Initiatives Can Help
Firstly,
the provision should be about prevention rather than cure.
Secondly,
preventative provision should adopt a holistic approach: individuals adopting a healthier lifestyle combined with & complemented by a supportive social environment.

If you are a teacher in vocational education, a teacher trainer, a professional in well-being & health, a policy maker, then here you will find newly developed resources in vitality that aim for all young people to possess a better approach to healthy ageing, to be catalysts of change & to make working in this sector more attractive. Do look at the extensive & engaging bank of learning materials for citizenship programmes. The VITALity materials have been developed through robust research in five European countries & are based on the knowledge & competences this approach requires for young people in VET & staff in continuous training.
At the core of the project is the work of the Institute of Positive Health & the VITALity Lab at ROC Midden Nederland. A virtual tour of the VITALity Lab can be seen here:
