🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️With just a month to go before the 108th edition of the Netherlands’ famous Four Day Marches, The Guardian explores how such outdoor traditions help shape happier, more resilient Dutch children. 👇

Once a year, Dutch kids, parents and teachers take part in a walking festival, heading out for four nights in a single week to explore their neighbourhoods, exercise and make friends. It’s a tradition that seems to be genuinely transformative

⚽️ is back! 🏆

The world cup 2026 is here reminding us once again that shared passion like football can bring nations together and promote tolerance and respect.

What’s even more exciting is that Curaçao has qualified for this World Cup as well, meaning the Kingdom will be represented for the first time by two countries.

Wish both the Netherlands and Curaçao teams the best of luck.

🚲 Today is !

Did you know that in the Netherlands, there are more bikes than people? As a leading cycling nation, the Netherlands boasts 35,000 km of dedicated bike paths. And the infrastructure expansion plans indicate that by 2027, we’re aiming for 600,000 bike parking spots at train stations.

It is exciting to see that the UAE is also investing in cycling infrastructures. The development of tracks is ongoing across the country. A comprehensive plan is in place to expand Dubai’s cycling network to 1,000 km by 2030 according to RTA Dubai.

By cycling, we can breathe cleaner air, feel healthier, and create cities that are more pleasant to live in.

Join one of the many cycling events arranged for today, the perfect moment to start or reignite your cycling journey.
