Sweden

The Swedish participants of the campaign "Ga och cycla till Skolan/Walk and bike to school" will join us again! The campaign, organized in Sweden by Trafik Kalendern, wants to inspire children, parents and teachers to travel in a smarter and healthier way – simply by walking, cycling and taking public transport. The goal is to create greater road safety in the immediate vicinity of children (“för bättre trafiksäkerhet I barnens närmiljö”) and to contribute to a better environment.

During any two weeks in September and October, the participating schools gather as many respoäng (travel points, divided into "Gröna e Orange Prickar") as possible by using climate-friendly means of transportation in everyday life.

Besides collecting 'gröna e orange Prickar‘, some schools could compete with other schools in a municipal competition to win a local price. The winners are awarded with prize money for the school.
