We recently organized an interactive workshop at the Children's Universities in Hasselt and Antwerp. During these sessions, the children were allowed to escape reality for a while and experience the magic of virtual reality with VR glasses!

After exploring the virtual world with an exciting game, we helped the children unwind. As we guided them in relaxing, we simultaneously measured their heart rate and sweat reactions. This allowed us to show that your body really is the best indicator of how much stress you are under!

Below you can see some photos from our workshop. Thanks to photographer Michael De Lausnay! As a family, do you want to discover for yourselves how your body responds to stress? And would you like to contribute to a better understanding of how families cope with stress? You can still sign up for our research!

Join us and experience for yourself how stress affects your body, while also contributing to important research. We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our sessions!

Hope to see you soon! 

Missed our previous workshop? Because of your great enthusiasm last time, we will organize our workshop again. Do we see you at Sunday March 17th in Genk or Saturday April 27th in Antwerpen?

Do you trust your body's signals? We live a large part of our lives in our heads. We think, we listen, we plan, we learn, we organize... As a result, our thoughts can deceive us more and more easily. Can we still feel what our body is trying to tell us? Maybe you know very well what happens to your body during stress, or maybe this is a great mystery to you. We want to discover that together with you during our workshop at the Children's University! Your heart rate can tell you a lot and even your sweat response can be an important messenger! Are you ready to not think too much, but just feel and do? You can register for our workshop ''Hart/d gaan [Going heart/hard]'' on Sunday March 17th (Genk) or Saturday April 27th (Antwerpen) via this link: https://www.kuleuven.be/kinderuniversiteit/programma. See you soon!
