The Limassol Tourism Board and Stratagem Ltd implements the action “Safe Routes to School” in the view of the co-funded project “Civitas Destinations”, where Elementary schools from Limassol have been involved.
On 14/03/2018, the second workshop has been held at the Elementary School of Linopetras. In total 75 students from 1st and 2nd grades participated in the workshop where they had the opportunity, through experiential exercises, to walk in a specially designed area with pedestrian crossings using traffic signals.
Also, students had the opportunity to use their bicycle in the ‘traffic park’ created in the school’s yard. All children were very active and interested about the sustainable experience during the workshop.
In addition, students worked in groups within the workshops where they expressed their thoughts on safe transportation to and from the school. It has to be mentioned that a total number of 20 students from 1st and 2nd grades go to school on foot, a number that is particularly encouraging. In closing, both students and teachers expressed their wish to repeat the workshop where the rest of students of the school will participate.
Many thanks to the Elementary school of Linopetras for the great hospitality and support.
