Footbus childrens to the school
A talk on sustainable mobility was held in 10 schools in the city for a total of 950 students aged 10 to 12. This was followed by a walking tour of the school grounds with the traffic education unit. School route maps were distributed (each school had its own) and the students, along with the police, learned how to navigate using their maps and identified potential problems on their way from home to school. This activity took place from Monday 15th to Thursday 18th.
The goal: to show students the school routes and explain that it's an ideal way to get to school every morning.
