Education ({{ (accordion=='education-7') ? 'uitgeklapt' : 'ingeklapt' }})
The municipality of Amstelveen is working on an activity program together with partners such as Participe, educational institutions, Amstelveen Sport, Platform C and many others. This program is intended for Ukrainian refugee children and young people staying in Amstelveen. The program offers children from 2 to 18 years of age sports, games and creativity. At the same time, a full daytime educational program is being worked on for the children. Every morning, there is a mother / child program for children aged 2 to 6. You may bring your younger children and babies along as well, but there is no separate program for them. A daily sports and games program has also been implemented for children between the ages of 6 to 18, from 2.30 to 6 pm. In addition, there are activities for children of this age group that will vary every day.
