Local residents mobilize for a healthy first 1000 days
Training Health Ambassadors
Health ambassadors are volunteering local residents that pursue the wellness of their neighborhood by organizing activities to serve this goal.
In 2019 the health ambassadors participated in a follow-up training that was especially aimed at a healthy lifestyle for the first 1000 days. As a part of this training they interviewed other local residents about subjects that were close to their hart: sleep, taking care of yourself as a mother, and kids’ screen time.
In collaboration with the health ambassadors, we developed several activities based on the interviews and tested them in different locations in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. These are the activities that we generated:
Download the conversational cards for parents with young children
Download the conversational cards for pregnant women
Download the screen time quiz for parents with young children
“This was really a nice way to talk to each other. We discuss topics that we would otherwise not discuss with each other. In this way you learn very different and new things.“
