Detailed description (English): Commuting to school by non-motorized ways of transport.
Parents don´t driving their children in front of the school gate. Children living in the village go on foot, on bicycles, scooters and those coming from the neighboring village have exchanged the parent’s car for the bus.
Every morning children report how they arrived at school. Their motivation is scoring. At the beginning of the school year, each class receives 100 points. Three points are deducted for each drive to school. So, the kids try to keep as many points as possible by the end of the school year. Classes are compared with each other. The winner gets a trip into the countryside and above all a good feeling of being transported to school in an environmentally friendly way.
Detailed description (original language): Dochádzanie do školy nemotorovými spôsobmi dopravy.
Rodičia nevozia svoje deti autami až pred bránu školy. Deti bývajúce v obci chodia peši, na bicykloch, kolobežkách a tie, ktoré dochádzajú zo susednej obce vymenili rodičovské auto za autobus.
Každé ráno deti hlásia, ako sa dopravili do školy. Motiváciou im je bodovanie. Na začiatku školského roka každá trieda dostane 100 bodov. Za každý príchod autom do školy sa im odpočítajú tri body, takže sa deti snažia udržať si čo najvyšší počet bodov do konca školského roka. Triedy sa porovnávajú medzi sebou. Víťaz získa výlet do prírody a hlavne dobrý pocit, že sa dopravuje do školy ekologickým spôsobom.
