09.10.2024

Agreement Signed by School to Promote Health and Quality of Life

Wittenborg students now have even more opportunities to practise sports, promoting their mental and physical well-being. The school has signed a three-year contract with Accres, a sports company based in Apeldoorn that operates multiple facilities in the city.

Through this agreement, Wittenborg students can use Accres’ indoor sports and training halls for activities such as futsal, volleyball, basketball, handball and badminton. Additionally, students can participate in various group activities and access the company’s swimming pools for recreational and training sessions. Special swimming lessons can also be arranged if required.

The facilities will be available during Accres’ regular opening hours, and Wittenborg students must identify themselves as students to gain access, as well as pay the entrance fees. For more information about the facilities and activities, students can consult the websites Sporthallen Apeldoorn and Sportplein Apeldoorn.

Wittenborg CEO Maggie Feng highlights that by signing this agreement the school aims to support its students and enhance their quality of life. “Sports are a great way to decompress and take care of one’s health and well-being. We want our students to have the best possible experience in the Netherlands. This means providing a well-rounded experience in every aspect, not just academically. For this reason, we go the extra mile by offering services like housing at the beginning of their journey and this new initiative with Accres,” she says.

Head of Education Development and Quality Management Kriszta Kaspers-Rostás points out that Wittenborg is pleased to start a new partnership with a company from Apeldoorn. “One of our goals is to continue expanding our strategic network of local partners. This is not only beneficial for Wittenborg, but also for the economy and community of Apeldoorn.”
