The Swedish participants of the campaign
"Ga och cycla till Skolan/Walk and bike to school" joined us again!

The campaign engages pupils in the Years F–6 (ages 6–12) across the country, turning everyday trips into collective climate action.

 

Each year, Trafikkalendern awards national prizes to the schools and classes with the best results, while many municipalities celebrate their local champions with special recognitions.

 

 

Every year, pupils across Sweden set an inspiring example through the “Gå & Cykla till skolan” (Walk and Bike to School) campaign, organized by Trafikkalendern. The initiative motivates children, parents, and teachers to travel to and from school in smarter, healthier, and more sustainable ways  by walking, cycling, or taking public transport.

At its heart, the campaign promotes three essential goals:

• •Promote the health of children and young people.

• Improving road safety around schools and neighbourhoods.

• •Protecting the environment by reducing car traffic and emissions.

During any two-week period in September or October, participating schools compete to earn as many points as possible for every climate-friendly journey. The activity not only reduces CO₂ emissions but also helps children develop lifelong habits of sustainable mobility and responsibility toward the planet.
