In the living room of the town hall she gets an explanation about the program 'Time for the Future,'" the message continued. "This program provides additional teaching time to elementary school students focused on talent development, well-being, health and reducing backlogs."

In conclusion, she talks in the Grand Café with members of the housing working group, the children's mayor and residents of Midden-Groningen about their experiences with the new building.

The day before, the Queen and her husband, King Willem-Alexander, paid a visit to Salland in the Netherlands.

"The #regional visit to the southern part of Salland in Overijssel starts in the former Hanzestad Deventer. The city saw the port fall into disrepair due to the return of water transport. Individuals and small businesses are involved in urban development and are given the opportunity to build for their own use. Industrial heritage, creative entrepreneurs, arts and culture, hospitality and housing are combined in this way," a caption on Instagram read.
