Vitality Trail

It seems that in 2023 the new trend is 'being busy'.

Full schedules, days of overtime, sleepless nights... It all seems to be normal. We live in a society where a lot is demanded of us. There is a lot of pressure in which the performance of others is visible and comparable. At school, work and in our personal lives. That is why it is important to work on your own vitality and keep working. The Vitality Trail contributes to the optimal but accessible way to pay attention to your own vitality on and around the Nordic Campus. From 'on' to 'on!'

Being busy no longer makes an impression. Because being continuously on costs a lot of energy. You are in a constant racing mode where there is no time for pause, reflection or evaluation. Take your thoughts off autopilot and switch off completely on the offline route or get some exercise on the online route of the Vitality Trail.  

Nordic Campus Connect has developed the Vitality trail in 2 concepts to get students moving. After extensive research into social trends and developments, we have arrived at the following concepts:

The overall distinctive character of this Nordic Vitality Trail Leeuwarden.

New York has the highline and Leeuwarden has the ON-LINE and the OFF-LINE!

  • The ON-LINE part of the trail is very vibrant. With exercises along the way, lots of commotion and activities and regular events
  • The ON-LINE stimulates the senses and makes you 'completely on'
  • On the ON-LINE you do use your phone to look up the exercises
  •  OFF-LINE as a thinking framework for the development of the trail. You will not encounter any advertisements along the way, and the noise of traffic and machines is absent as much as possible, for example due to plants that reduce noise.
  • Path of knowledge, really being offline between lessons or before/after to clear your head. This will benefit your study performance. Leave your phone at home on this part of the trail!
  • Space for relaxation and exercise. Stay balanced

On the On-Line & Off-line

  • Experiencing the seasons because the path looks different in every season (e.g. tree blossoms in the spring, bee borders in the summer, autumn colors and winter blooms - so no winter green that looks the same all year round!)
  • You experience Frisian culture in a natural way through what you encounter along the way (landmarks and statements).
  • Fitting with the BrandValues ​​of the Nordic Campus

For the appearance of the elements along the ON-LINE and OFF-LINE, we looked  at the style that the municipality of Leeuwarden has chosen for its street furniture, sustainability and long-term trends. As a result of that research, we arrived at the style that we call “urban natural”. The furniture along the ON-LINE and OFF-LINE will be made in this style.
