National Play in the Street day in Holland
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008The NRC Handelsblad today reports that the Dutch Children’s channel Nickelodeon is switching off between 1pm and 5pm to coincide with the national play in the street day organised by Veilig Verkeer Nederland (the Dutch road traffic safety association).
On national play in the street day many streets are closed off to make them safe for children to play in. At the same time many parents will be drawing attention to child (play) safety issues by walking around with placards and handing out leaflets.
