Bike to School – Roma – News

Uncategorised
Some news from our partners Bike to School • Roma:
Once a week some schools in Rome (17 out 1700 – not much but something to start with) close the motor vehicle part of the street in front of their entrance – we call this #schoolstreets.
In many of these schools volunteers together with some parents organize bike to school and pedibus to reach the school in a more happy and safe way, walking or riding a bike or a scooter!
Our project Ride&smile aims to support this process.
We want many more “schoolstreets” and happy and healty kids in Europe!

Daniela Schmeinck coordinated the organization of work for the development of learning activities (IO2) and gave an overview on the upcoming actions to be undertaken. A subdivision of topics was proposed to school partners.

Today, on 17.12, another informative and educational workshop for the RIDE AND SMILE project, was held, with the students of the Elementary School “J.” H. “Pestaloci” from Skopje that will be included in the project activities outdoors and in the classroom as well.

👩 🏫 With the engagement of Teachers Natasha Gjorgjioska and Jasna Karovska-Abramac who presented, everyone at the workshop was better informed about using the digital application that will memorize a road spent with sustainable transport (it would be best in bicycle, but other transport that is not harmful to the environment can also be) – as part of project activities of RIDE AND SMILE.
🏫👩 🏫 Today, several children from 7 grades were present at the workshop, with their class mentors and teachers; Ana Senčuk, Margaret Pejoska, Biljana Stojanoska, Verica Nedelkoska, Simona Mirceka, Tatjana Tanevska and Branka Dimevska.\n
The impressions were excellent and the students were really curious and followed the information displayed attentively.

Ride & Smile – Project Meeting – July 2021

Project

On July 20th partners met to discuss several points of the web platform including:

1. Protection of sensitive data / privacy issues concerning the involvement of children

– Collective class account managed by the teacher
– Confidentiality of addresses/routes
– Attention should be paid to avoid any forms of discrimination among children

2. Use of smartphone/ICT tools

– Responsible and safe use of ICT tools should be taken in consideration within the planned didactic activities

3. Safety on the road

– Preliminary activities should be organised to provide the pupils with basic notions concerning how to ride a bike safely in the city
– A partnership with the local police could be evaluated

Discussions were also held as to when a ‘Face to face’ meeting would take place, given current Covid restrictions in several partner countries this will be decided at a later date.
