22 September 2025
Retiring, it seems so simple, finally having all the time for yourself. But how to fill that free time in a way that really suits you? In this training (in Dutch, consisting of 4 half-days, starting 28 October) you will discover what this new phase of life can mean for you.

Guided by a trainer, you will work with the concept of time pressure ánd the appeals of others who can consume and disrupt your time. You can put the tools you learn into practice straight away. Curious what it will bring you? Over 4 half-days you will gain insight into your pension and the opportunities offered by this new phase. The trainer will help you think about questions such as: How do I want to shape my future? What to expect financially? What contributes to my sense of purpose? You get practical information on pension, Dutch state pension (AOW), tax and legal matters, and discover how to fill your newly acquired living space with meaning. This training offers inspiring tools to make choices that suit you, from actively contributing to society to personal growth and discovering new passions.

Please enroll via the Learning Management System. As a compensation for programme costs, we ask participants for a contribution of € 100. This contribution is automatically charged to your department.
