Vlaams Instituut Gezond Leven provides tools and ready-made projects for health promotion in Flanders. Its topics include nutrition, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, tobacco, mental wellbeing, sleep, behavioural insights and health inequality. It also publishes practical health tips and evidence-based health advice for the general public.

Its target users are dieticians, general practitioners, health officials, teachers and other professionals, as well as local governments and the education and care settings. It offers guidance on quality health promotion and on planning and evaluating impact. The organisation is also active in the Flemish school system, with a virtual class game called Expeditie Geluk for primary schools that aims to strengthen pupils' mental wellbeing.

Expeditie Geluk launched its fifth edition in a Brussels primary school, and the institute reports that more than 10,000 classes and more than 140,000 children have taken part over the years. The organisation is currently facing a significant budget cut.
