Mark your calendar and join us on 28 February for the next CCD Rounds. We will learn how JOGG creates and repeats impactful community-integrated initiatives that promote healthy living and prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes in the Netherlands.
Healthy Youth, Healthy Future is JOGG's motto. The organisation has
been the driving force behind stakeholder initiatives in more than 200
municipalities across the Netherlands for over a decade.
JOGG’s method is rooted in a locally-led approach, in which parents
and healthcare professionals are supported by local authorities,
schools and businesses – all working in partnership to create healthy
environments that help young people achieve and maintain a healthy
weight.
Patty Scholten, programme manager for JOGG, will
share how the activities are sustained through government funding,
using top-ups from civil society organisations and the private sector.
Patty will also walk us through how local businesses and food outlets
are brought on board as collaborators to create healthy environments
beyond the school gates and how successful initiatives get replicated
in new communities.
