This video was created from the original idea of a team of young high school students from Groupe Scolaire Montalembert, as part of a writing workshop (stimulated by the Association Française du Vitiligo and with the help of their literature teacher), to talk to all young people directly affected by vitiligo… but also to everyone else!

New Spotlight! no. 3 September (2021)

Spotlight! will be released in the first week of September! No. 3 of 2021.

The September issue of Spotlight! can safely be called varied! For example, you can read about:

  • People with vitiligo are known to sometimes have one or more autoimmune diseases. Pernicious anemia, for example, also called vitamin B12 deficiency. 
  • Visibility. That was one of the key words during the recent consultation between the board of Vitiligo.nl and several staff members of the SNIP pigment center (in the Amsterdam UMC. 
  • Young people will have more say in the magazine. Take Anne (25): like many teenagers, she was also quite insecure. 'Do others like me? And then those spots on my body.' Looking back, she experiences that period as a roller coaster. Now she says: 'Luckily I have regained my self-confidence.
  • In recent years, many children have requested the association's speaking package. What did they do with it? What was it like talking to the class about their vitiligo? Do they deal with it differently after their speech?
