: so it's been properly translated for a French-speaking region and now the Flemish want it (re)translated into English by a Dutch native. Belgium today, in a nutshell.

Thank you, Natasha. Possibly. However, according to the definition ('georganiseerde ontspannende actitiviteiten') these activities would be fun.

I think children need entertainment, whether they have a criminal record or not.
|
|
| agree |
Peter Simon
: 'entertainment' is the meaning anyway, according to Kramers Woordenb. Ned. and http://webtranslation.paralink.com/ alike; inmates are probably given it (en begeleiding) to avoid entertaining themselves by attacking e/o or the wardens ...

Thank you, Peter. Why not. Also remember this is about children.

I don't see what is wrong with entertainment for children. However, what does this 'animatie' mean in practice.
|
|
| agree |
Hans Geluk
: There may or may not be an issue with 'entertainment'. It may be from a criminal record, but without more context, this can perfectly refer to something in society rather than in gaol.

Thank you, Hans. We would need to know what this 'animatie' referred to in the text means in practice in order to be able to give a decisive answer.

animation
FYI: I always use this sentence: Extract taken from the criminal records requested to carry out an activity that is NOT classified under the heading of education, psycho-medical-social counselling, youth counselling, child protection, animation or counselling of minors.
