No one has ever drowned in sweat!
In a country where busyness prevails, people make up excuses to avoid exercising and everyone wants to be fit without having to do anything for it, one man stands up to make the whole of the Netherlands jump.

Maurice van Veldhooven takes a hard look at the so-called "slacker" generation (the millennials and Gen Z), but does so with a healthy dose of self-mockery. From influencers "working" for fun to endless scrolling on social media instead of doing real work, what is the future of a generation that spends more time looking for the perfect filter than real meaning?

Through humorous, recognizable situations and hilarious clips, Van Veldhooven explores what it means to grow up in this day and age, stuck in the paradox of always being connected but never truly productive. Generation Slacker is a playful and thought-provoking presentation that asks the question: are we really that lazy, or are we just victims of a systemDuring 45 minutes, Maurice tells you all the ins and outs about the changing society. He makes you think about subjects you normally wouldn't think about so quickly. A sometimes cabaretesque presentation is the result where you leave full of energy and set to work on an active lifestyle.
