The campaign initiative came from JOGG director Jessica Glasbergen, who is committed to empowering young people
to make Den Helder healthier. Promoting water consumption is an important part of this
by.
The campaign is being conducted in close collaboration with the children's council. The children's mayor and the children's council
Den Helder makes the voice of youth heard. At the initiative of the children's council, the municipality
recently approved a proposal to install five water points at playgrounds within the municipality of Den

The idea behind these water points is simple but powerful: children should always have the opportunity to
to quench their thirst while playing, without having to go home to get water. Like
Children's council member Kenishan noted: “Sometimes you're having fun playing and then you have to go home when you
are thirsty.”
A great step towards lasting impact
The children's council's initiative to install more water points inspired JOGG director Jessica
Glasbergen to set up the 'Stay cool, drink water' campaign together with the children's council.
After the unveiling of the first board, Team Sportservice will organize a sports activity for
primary school pupils.
