Make the schoolyard greener, healthier and more fun
A healthy living environment for students starts with a healthy schoolyard! The Healthy School Incentive Scheme is a temporary subsidy scheme to help schools create a healthy and inspiring play environment. And we are happy to think along!
The days are getting longer, the spring bulbs are shooting out of the ground and it is becoming more and more fun to play outside. But is your schoolyard really inviting? Or is there still room for improvement? Good news! There is now a temporary subsidy scheme to help schools create a healthy and inspiring play environment. This allows education professionals to continue working independently on a healthy living environment for students. This scheme applies to primary education, special education and secondary education.
Applications can be submitted until April 15, 2025!

Do you want to continue brainstorming with us after this period about greening and improving playgrounds at your school or within your municipality? We are happy to help you! Our mission is to let children grow up more outdoors in a green environment, in which playing, nature and development come together.
We design natural playgrounds, green schoolyards and many more high-quality outdoor spaces. Take contact with us and discover the possibilities.
Together we make playing outside not only more fun, but also greener!

Greening the schoolyard? Bring the play area to life
Many schoolyards are still grey and functionally designed. They consist mainly of tiles and offer little challenge or experience for children. At the same time, problems such as heat stress, flooding, and a lack of physical activity are increasing.
