E/topia

A network that brings people and organizations together

As the successor to Dutch Happiness Week

The Eindtopia Foundation brings together art, culture, healthcare, social services, education, and science to strengthen the well-being and resilience of the residents of the Eindhoven region. By working together, we generate new ideas, foster meaningful connections, and create a lasting impact on society.

We are committed to social change by fostering connections in places and through projects where people meet, create together, and find meaning. As equal partners in a vibrant urban network where the system continues to evolve on its own.

We check a region around Eindhoven in which

  • Healthcare, social services, education, and culture should no longer be viewed as separate islands, but as parts of a single, cohesive network.
  • Residents feel seen, connected, and supported—regardless of their gender, background, age, and/or health.
  • Connection is seen as the foundation for well-being, prevention, and resilience.
    Diversity is embraced and celebrated as one of the city’s strengths.
  • Professionals from various sectors enjoy working outside their own systems and creating together.
  • Values such as purpose, connection, and resilience are taken seriously and appreciated.
  • Art and culture are inextricably linked to mental health, social cohesion, and preventive care.

Focus on themes that matter
Each year, E/topia selects one or more social themes that are current and relevant to the Eindhoven region. We approach these themes from various perspectives, transcending the boundaries between sectors and fostering collaboration among the arts, culture, healthcare, social services, education, and science.
