Physical and Mental Well-being at the Focus of Sport and Health Week
“A physically active and healthy lifestyle leads to good health, while a passive lifestyle leads to a higher risk of noncommunicable diseases, a lower quality of life, and a shorter life expectancy.

While the link between physical activity and good health is becoming better understood, the number of people who are physically active remains low.

“Human rights and security are not opposites, they complement each other. You can have no true human dignity and consideration of human rights without security.

In some situations, human rights treaties are not aligned with certain security interests,” says the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Lithuania, Jack Robert Twiss Quarles Van Ufford, who gave a lecture at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) on the challenges of ensuring human rights and security.
