For example, we are the driving force behind new initiatives to allow more students to play sports and we support student sports associations so that they can continue to grow. We have only recently started doing all this, because until recently The Hague did not have a student sports council. However, we already notice that we have a positive effect on student sports and the sports climate in the city. With the GNSK 2022 on top of that, which is getting closer for The Hague, the future is looking good! thehaguestudentsport@hotmail.com​​​​​​​
