With this contribution towards the costs, the Jong Leren Eten programme aims to encourage schools to introduce children and young people to information and activities about food. This enables them to learn in a practical way how to make healthy and sustainable choices.

Mark 7 March to 19 April in your calendar, as you can submit your application during this period. More information about the scheme will be available from mid-February at https://www.jonglereneten.nl/stimuleringsbijdrage-lekker-naar-buiten.

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.
