The event brought together more than 300 guests from the worlds of arts, healthcare, education and research, highlighting the growing importance of collaboration across disciplines.

Rather than only speaking about the impact of the arts, Janine Stubbe made it tangible on stage through performances by students from the Classical Music, Circus Arts, Dance and Music Theatre programmes of Codarts Rotterdam.

At the heart of the lecture was the belief that art can play a meaningful role in wellbeing, connection and society. For Codarts, this collaboration reflects a shared vision: where art, health, education and research come together, something truly valuable can emerge.

Janine Stubbe’s inaugural lecture, “The Power of Art - From Promise to Practice” (Dutch), can be read here.
