Detailed description (English): Riding a bicycle connects - let´s go for a ride!
This project is about sustainable bike training on and off the bike in schools. The participation at this project is independent from sex, origin and social environment. Nobody is barred, everybody is welcome!
The project takes place at the compulsory schools in Graz, Austria to prepare the kids for the "allowed biking" at the age of 12.
There are 3 Measures: Fitness - Bike Technic - Safety
At the Fitness module the kids learn how to drop & roll, Parkour and free-running. This should prepare them to be fit at the bike!
The next step is, they learn how to use a bike in every situation, at a full stop, in a corner or over obstacles!
And last but not least, they apply what they have learned in school and transfer it on the street. They check the rules or find the best ways to school.
All in all the project is about 16 lessons in school separated in 3 modules.
Furthermore there are awareness building measures for the teachers and for the parents at every school!
Target group(s): Pupils from 11-15 years, Teacher, Parents
