Czech Republic

 

In the Czech Repuplc  this year 9 schools with 1,660 kids aged 4-12 years were involved. They came from the following 8 municipalities:

Děčín, Chomutov, Litoměřice, Poděbrady, Přimda, Řevnice, Votice and Zbiroh.

 

In late springtime the pupils marked their ways to school in maps and identified dangerous spots. These hotspots were assembled in one map.

 

Most schools realized their ZOOM Activity Week not before September. 10,881 Green Footprints were collected by the 9 Schools together!

 

Some further information on their activites as well as nice photographs can be found in the short report (pdf, 2.5 MB) written by Nadace Partnerství, running the Czech ZOOM campaign in 2015.
