Published Jan 08, 2026

From 2 March through 13 April 2026, registration of interest for the Incentive Grant Get Outside! – round 9 will be open. Under the motto ‘Get outside!’, all schools in primary education, secondary education and secondary vocational education, as well as childcare locations, can apply for funding for three activities: Vegetable gardening; Cooking; An excursion or guest lesson related to nutrition.

With this contribution towards costs, the Jong Leren Eten (JLE) programme aims to encourage schools and childcare organisations to introduce children and young people to information and activities related to nutrition. This enables them to learn how to make healthy and sustainable choices in a practical way. This contribution is subject to conditions.

Target groups

The Incentive Grant Get Outside! distinguishes between two target groups: childcare (early childhood education/after-school care) and schools (primary/special primary education, secondary/special secondary education and secondary vocational education):

CHILDCARE: The application process takes place via the Healthy Childcare website.
SCHOOLS: The application process takes place via www.mijngezondeschool.nl, the Healthy School website.

Our Food Week

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
