All depends a lot on your nationality. Most western countries a short tourist visit to other schengen countries will be no problem.
2 :
If you want to work as au pair in the Netherlands you will need to get a Dutch Temporary Residence Permit (unless you are a European Union citizen). A long stay visa or a residence permit issued by one Schengen country enables the border-less travel to the other Schengen countries for a stay of up to 90 days per semester without the need to get another visa. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en .. â—‹-â—‹-â—‹ Added (based on the next answer): The Dutch "Verblijfsdocument" will only enable the travel to the other Schengen countries, not to all of Europe. Bulgaria, Ireland, Romania, or the United Kingdom cannot be visited since they do not apply to the Schengen agreement although they are member countries of the European Union (EU). http://dc.the-netherlands.org/Services/Consular_services/Visa/US_citizens/Traveling_to_the_Netherlands/Tourist_and_Business_Visa_for_the_Netherlands_Schengen/See_also/Map_of_Schengen_countries .. Non-EU countries will not accept Schengen visa with some exceptions (Albania, Montenegro). It will depend on the passport of your home country whether you can travel without visa to other European countries out of the Schengen zone. http://www.skyteam.com/about/travelhelp/travelinfo.html ..

Yes, if you have a job you will get a residence permit. This permit will enable you to travel around Europe.

To work in a regular children facility you're required to speak Dutch. However you could work at the international schools with expat children's. Normally as native English speaker you could almost work in every Dutch branch because the Dutch people can communicate fluently in English. But to work at the education institutes, the government is very keen to communicate in fluent Dutch.

Holland lops come in many colors, but when showing, they are divided into 2 varieties: broken and solid. So technically, there are 2 varieties, but there are several colors inside each variety (these are broken up into groups). The national Holland Lop club has some good articles: http://www.hlrsc.com/ If you do a search for Holland Lop colors, you'll find several photos that maybe helpful. From my experience showing the smaller breeds, the #1 mistake most youth exhibitors make is they overfeed their rabbits. If you do this, your rabbit will get Disqualified when you show him for being too fat. The ideal weight for a holland is 3 lbs, with a maximum of 4lbs. So stick to a strict feeding practice, and keep your rabbit within the ideal weight. That would really stink to work all year on your 4H project and then have your rabbit DQ'd at his first show.

http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/publications/factsheet/fsest.htm Research is the basis for public policies to reduce unintended pregnancy, abortion, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Political and religious interest groups have little influence on public health policy. A national desire to reduce the number of abortions and to prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, provides the major impetus in each country for unimpeded access to contraception, including condoms, consistent sexuality education, and widespread public education campaigns. Governments support massive, consistent, long-term public education campaigns utilizing the Internet, television, films, radio, billboards, discos, pharmacies, and health care providers. Media is a partner, not a problem, in these campaigns. Campaigns are far more direct and humorous than in the U.S. and focus on safety and pleasure. Youth have convenient access to free or low-cost contraception through national health insurance. Sexuality education is not necessarily a separate curriculum and may be integrated across school subjects and at all grade levels. Educators provide accurate and complete information in response to students' questions. Families have open, honest, consistent discussions with teens about sexuality and support the role of educators and health care providers in making sexual health information and services available for teens. Adults see intimate sexual relationships as normal and natural for older adolescents, a positive component of emotionally healthy maturation. At the same time, young people believe it is "stupid and irresponsible " to have sex without protection and use the maxim, "safer sex or no sex." The morality of sexual behavior is weighed through an individual ethic that includes the values of responsibility, respect, tolerance, and equity. Adolescents have the right to balanced, accurate, and realistic sexuality education, confidential and affordable sexual health services, and a secure stake in the future. http://www.nvsh.nl/english/index.htm http://www.mistymedia.co.uk/blog/2005/09/29/dutch_sex_education/ http://www.channel4.com/learning/microsites/L/lifestuff/content/up_close/letstalksex/index.html http://www.channel4.com/learning/microsites/L/lifestuff/content/up_close/letstalksex/dutch.html http://www.channel4.com/learning/microsites/L/lifestuff/content/up_close/letstalksex/findoutmore.html DUTCH SEX EDUCATION www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/tcr/files/tcr/news/ europetour.xml#1119288090469::6998015254475574609 Blog of American sex educator on fact-finding tour round Europe, including trip to Netherlands http://www.rutgersnissogroep.nl/English In the United States, young people typically initiate sexual intercourse at the same age or even earlier compared to young people in the Netherland Chlamydia In the United States, the teen chlamydia rate is over 20 times higher than that in France.

Looks like you're on a soap box... The reasons are cultural. Puritans don't believe in education when it comes to sex... and the consequences of ignorant teen sex are attributed to sin. Sin that could have been prevented by cramming religious diatribe down the throats of the young.
