Leisure Matters VIU

There is no wisdom without leisure - W.B. Yeats

Leisure plays an essential role in individual, community and national development, contributing to the quality of life and well-being, the enhancement of social relationships and social capital and as a place of expression and engagement in democratic life. Leisure is an important place for social and voluntary involvement as well as the expression of solidarity and a sense of belonging.
