Bio / presentation

CliniClowns Nederland is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands, dedicated to providing emotional support to hospitalized children, people with disabilities, and elderly individuals with dementia. Since 1992, their professional clowns have used the art of clowning, improvisation, and empathy to bring moments of joy, connection, and relief to care and medical environments. Their visits take place not only in hospitals but also in rehabilitation centers, special education schools, and nursing homes. Additionally, CliniClowns offers interactive digital experiences that allow patients to connect with clowns from their homes or hospital beds. Their approach is based on personalized contact, imagination, and play, significantly contributing to the emotional and psychological well-being of people in vulnerable situations. CliniClowns Nederland shows how humor and genuine attention can create a positive and lasting impact.
