Nickelodeon Netherlands And Jantje Beton To Hold Buitenspeeldag 2017 On Wednesday 14th June 2017

Nickelodeon Netherlands (Nederland) has announced the exciting news that they have partnered with Jantje Beton, an organisation dedicated to providing youth services, to hold the 10th edition of Buitenspeeldag, Nickelodeon Nederland's localised version of Nickelodeon's "Worldwide Day of Play", on Wednesday 14th June 2017!


For Buitenspeeldag 2017, Nickelodeon and Jantje Beton are inviting everyone to help make the Netherlands one big playground, and to organise and register activities on Nickelodeon and Jantje Beton's giant map, so that 100,000 children across the Netherlands can go outside and play, whether in a garden, in a park or at a playground!

On Wednesday 14th June 2017, games will be anything but boring or unsafe. Throughout the Netherlands, streets will be closed and places will be transformed into giant playgrounds so that children can enjoy a day of fun and games with friends!

Nickelodeon and Jantje Beton are calling on municipalities, parents and caregivers, playgrounds, schools, youth clubs, youth organisations and associations to help turn the Netherlands into one of the biggest playgrounds on the planet by organising tons of fun activities for kids! Activities can then be submitted to be placed on Nickelodeon and Jantje Beton's Buitenspeeldag 2017 map at www.jantjebeton.nl/buitenspeeldag! More than 350 schools, companies, neighbourhood associations, parents, municipalities and children have reported an activity!

Buitenspeeldag 2017 aims to get kids to go outside and play. Studies have found that 1 in 5 children doesn't play outside, or plays outside only one day a week, which is quite alarming. That is why Nickelodeon and Jantje Beton are organising Buitenspeeldag 2017, to help kids experience how massively fun it is to explore the world outside.

Outside is also the place kids can charge up their energy or wear themselves out. Outside play is not only fun, but is also essential for physical, mental and social development. Playing is important for kids, however, it is something that isn't taught enough in the current, performance-oriented society.

Whether it's an activity for a street, a school or a whole neighbourhood. Every activity is welcome! Visit www.jantjebeton.nl/buitenspeeldag for more information about Buitenspeeldag 2017, to sign up and add your activity to the Buitenspeeldag 2017 map, tips on how to promote your activity, promotional material, and fun activity ideas! From obstacle courses and old Dutch games, to the best clothes to wear whilst playing in the water, under the sun or in the rain. On Buitenspeeldag 2017, everything is possible!

Tips en inspiratie voor activiteiten
Iedereen die een Buitenspeeldag activiteit aanmeldt, ontvangt ondersteuning in de vorm van tips, promotiemateriaal en leuke activiteit ideeën via www.jantjebeton.nl/buitenspeeldag. Van hindernisbanen en oud-Hollandse spellen tot kliederen met water in de zon of juist in de regen. Op de Buitenspeeldag is alles mogelijk.

Buitenspelen is niet vanzelfsprekend
Tijdens de Buitenspeeldag kunnen kinderen ervaren hoe leuk het is om buiten met buurtgenootjes lol te hebben. Buitenspelen is tegenwoordig niet meer zo vanzelfsprekend. 1 Op de 5 kinderen speelt niet of slechts één keer per week vrij buiten, dat is behoorlijk alarmerend. Daarom organiseren Jantje Beton en Nickelodeon de jaarlijkse Buitenspeeldag. We willen kinderen massaal laten ervaren hoe leuk het is om de wereld buiten te ontdekken. Buiten is ook dé plek voor hen om hun batterij op te laden of juist te ontladen. En dat is niet alleen leuk, maar ook erg noodzakelijk. Bovendien is buitenspelen essentieel voor de fysieke, mentale en sociale ontwikkeling. Kinderen leren spelenderwijs het best. Iets dat in de huidige, prestatiegerichte maatschappij niet genoeg onder de aandacht gebracht kan worden.

BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands Announce New Ongoing "Power Rangers" Comic Series, "Go Go Power Rangers"

Official BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands Press Release via Power Rangers Now:

BOOM! STUDIOS AND SABAN BRANDS DEBUT SECOND ONGOING POWER RANGERS SERIES


Fighting evil is hard, but surviving high school may be even harder



Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers #1 main cover.

April 19, 2017 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands announce SABAN’S GO GO POWER RANGERS, an all-new ongoing comic book series that will debut in July 2017 and is based on the original, hit TV series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” The series will explore the transition of the original five Rangers from ordinary high schoolers to world-saving superheroes. Ryan Parrott (Star Trek: Starfleet Academy) returns to BOOM! Studios and the Power Rangers franchise after his work on the sold-out, original graphic novel, Power Rangers: Aftershock, which followed the release of the 2017 feature film, “Saban’s Power Rangers.” Parrott is teaming with Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora (WWE, Klaus).


Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers #1 Acetate variant cover.

Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers is set after the first episode of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” and centers around Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, and Billy as they navigate high school, just days after receiving their superhero abilities. The story delves into their lives of saving the world while juggling history tests, dating and after-school jobs.

“It’s hard enough being a teenager and juggling relationships, school, and family—I can’t even imagine throwing in protecting the world,” says Parrott. “The goal of Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers is to focus on more personal, intimate character stories. We dive deeper to fully examine the wish-fulfilling, awesomeness of having superpowers, along with the pressure of that responsibility.”

Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers will be the second ongoing Power Rangers comic book series launched and follows the record-breaking debut of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from BOOM! Studios in January 2016, which sold over 1 million copies in its first year.


After the hit series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” launched in 1993, Saban’s “Power Rangers” quickly became the most-watched children’s television programs and is one of the longest-running kids action series in television history. Currently the series is in its 24th season with “Power Rangers Ninja Steel” airing on Nickelodeon and rolling out globally throughout the year.

“The ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ was one of my first exposures to the superhero genre, and a big part of the appeal was the lives of these characters when they weren’t saving the world,” says Dafna Pleban, Editor. “Ryan [Parrott] and Dan [Mora] are incredibly adept at capturing both the awesome cosmic action of being a Ranger, and the emotional reality of being a teen at the same time.”


Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the ultimate TV show. It had dinosaurs, cool heroes with amazing suits, and giant Zords. What’s not to like?” says Mora. “I can’t wait for the moment to travel back in time and tell my younger self what I’m doing. I’m sure he will be proud of me!”

Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, WWE, Planet of the Apes, Victor LaValle’s Destroyer, Godshaper, Grass Kings, and Klaus.
