About the project
My project idea refers at a social experiment in Chortiatis, a small town in Thessaloniki Region (5.000 citizens), where ALL the Primary School students travels to school by car or school bus. The school has 250 students, 150 students travels with school buses and 100 students travels with private cars.The goal of the experiment is to organize exchange of ideas, among the stakeholders (children, parents, school, the community, local authorities etc), that will lead to the creation of at least one Safe Route to Primary School.
My main focus is to highlight
The importance of Children Independent Mobility for the City
The positive effect on children's psychology of the walking journeys to school
The positive effect on children's health of the walking journeys to school
The need for participatory action by the children, the need to listen kids opinion and solutions for issues related to themThe faith that a healthy society starts with citizens who have been activated since childhood
