It targets not only the child’s behavior, but in particular it focuses on making a healthier social and physical environment. To achieve this, JOGG works together with policy makers from the national and local government, as well as with professionals from the public and private sectors. Also professional football clubs can create a valuable impact within the community based approach. In this presentation, Esther and her colleague will inspire you with examples from the Netherlands on how you can create a healthy environment and be a healthy role model.
