If that sounds like something children might find boring, well, think again.

They really make a festival of it.

They run up and down the route, they sing songs, marching songs, scouting songs.

In fact, Arthur explains that it's often the adults who are the problem.

The children are always fantastic.

It's mostly the parents that get in the way of the fun.

They want to cross quicker.

They want to get finished.

Dutch kids are consistently judged to be some of the happiest in the world.

This year, a UNICEF report again ranked them number one out of 44 Western countries for overall well-being and mental health.

Strong social ties were cited as a key factor.

Could this tradition be the secret to their happiness?

Walking can be very nice for your health, for your well-being.

But also because you're doing it together, you get a sense of camaraderie and you also see your neighbourhood in a different way.

But for Arthur, there is something even more essential about the Afromfidagse.

It isn't just about the perks of walking and camaraderie.

It's about how we view childhood and the role we give children in our society.

Children are very often seen as dumb or just not needing much in the sense of maybe you just entertain them.

But they have a very rich inner world that you need to build up.

You need to make them part of the environment.
