Leioa organises activities during EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2023, taking into account the annual theme.
All week
There will be no activities this day
16 September
The nineteenth edition of the pedestrian crossing march will be held. This march is traditionally an interactive march where citizens can analyze and highlight the existing incidents regarding mobility and can communicate it to public officials in situ. On this occasion, during the route of the march, different healthy spaces have been identified that should be analyzed by citizens from an emotional mapping point of view.

The children of 4th and 5th grade of primary school will go out accompanied by their teachers to analyze the urbanism closest to their school, as well as possible improvements. The idea is that the assessment is made from the emotional point of view, to know what their environment makes them feel, as will be done with all the participants of the pedestrian walk.

We will again launch the HIT initiative. In this initiative, children of 4th and 5th grade of primary school in all schools in the municipality are invited to participate in a dynamic on the occasion of mobility with municipal staff and politicians. The expected attendance is 400 children. This year, the participating children will have to complete their feelings about the urbanism of the municipality valuing with emoticons on a giant map.
In addition, in this event the new members of the MUHABE (Obserbatorio de la movilidad), a motor group made up of children who watch over the school roads program, Bizibideak, are announced.
The cutting of the main street of the municipality will also be carried out during the morning of this day.
