  • The SCHOOLHOODs message for safe, green and happy ways to school

    The SCHOOLHOODs team dedicated its work for improving the way our children come to school. For more than 2 years, we discussed with teacher, parents, pupils and politicians. We brainstormed and negotiated solutions. We put testing actions on the ground to demonstrate how to arrive at better school commutes. And we created effective strategies and action plans to institutionalise the change to safe, green and happy ways to school.
