The Healthy Guest Lecture
The Healthy Guest Lessons will start at schools in September. The Healthy Guest Lesson is an interactive lesson for primary school children from group 7.

During their youth, children and young people learn what normal behavior is. And that also applies to a healthy lifestyle. Children and young people who grow up in a healthy environment and with a healthy lifestyle find this completely normal for the rest of their lives.
Together with our partners we strive for a society in which young people live, learn and play in a healthy environment with structural attention to a healthy lifestyle. An environment in which the healthy choice is self-evident.

JOGG is committed to this in six themes:

Since September 2023, Amstelveen has been active as a JOGG municipality. In order to grow up healthily, children need a healthy living environment. Parents, schools, childcare, the neighborhood and the sports club play an important role in this.
From JOGG Amstelveen we guide and support organizations in focusing on the JOGG themes of drinking water, healthy nutrition, more exercise, better sleep and media literacy.
