We Walk The City
This is an activity that aims to reflect with children on daily mobility in the school environment and understand the importance of measures that promote active and sustainable mobility.
During the workshop, we work on both those physical and design aspects of the public space that determine its routes (sidewalk widths, pavements, street furniture…) as well as mobility habits and the rest of the factors that influence the way we move around the city.
The activity begins with a debate in the classroom to define the particular school path of the center, the advantages and disadvantages of its situation and the profile of the users, proposing possibilities for change through their own habits to tend towards sustainable mobility.
Afterwards, a discovery itinerary of the center’s surroundings is carried out. In the class group he goes out to the street to represent scenes that may occur during his School Journey and analyze them critically.
Finally, in groups, proposals are made to improve the environment, for the benefit of their own autonomy and movement with active means, which are reflected in a traffic sign that they can display publicly in the classroom or at the center.
It is an activity with a history of more than 10 years, which has passed through many schools and cities in our territory. It started from the Urbanins initiative, which over time has ended up being added to the Estel cooperative.
