About Sunshine Week
Children should, of course, spend plenty of time playing outside. And that is even more enjoyable when the sun is shining! Sunlight is basically very healthy, but it also has a downside. Exposure to the sun can cause skin damage (especially to young children's delicate skin) and problems later in life. That is why the Huidfonds launched Sunshine Week.
Childcare locations can take part in Sunshine Week free of charge. During this week, attention is devoted in a playful way to the importance of sun protection and healthy behavior in the sun. Both children and parents learn how to protect themselves from the sun. After registering your location, you can download the materials and take part in the fun-filled week! The materials include entertaining booklets, practical step-by-step guides, follow-along dance videos, and coloring pages.
Sunshine Week is an activity recognized by the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment). Recognized activities offer a greater chance of achieving good results.
