Stephanie van Helvoort, teacher of equine husbandry and equestrian sport, Lentiz Maasland:
"How much more visual do you want it?"
“To CORPUS with students of equine husbandry? Yes, of course! Our curriculum includes the anatomy of both horses and humans. As a rider you need to know how to take good care of your body and stay energetic. With the Rider Fit theme, we pay a lot of attention to healthy nutrition. Which is better for you, a banana or an orange? What's in your lunch box? Asking these kinds of concrete questions starts a conversation about healthy choices. CORPUS also gets you thinking about healthy choices in a playful way. The repetition of that message is necessary to promote awareness and behavioural change.”
Surprises
“For intermediate vocational (MBO) students, it is important to present the theory visually. How much more visual than a journey through the human body do you want it to be? Everything is clearly explained and there are people everywhere to offer you help if you need it. The surprises during the journey make the students more motivated and enthusiastic, such as the 3D films and moving chairs. Hey, something's happening, we’re going to do something! The fun facts in between are also very easy to remember. A visit to CORPUS is a valuable addition to the lessons and also just a great afternoon out.”
