Today was a special day for the pupils of Primary 4, who have taken part in the project Bizibideakan initiative launched to promote the sustainability, safe mobility and healthy habits on journeys to and from school.
The day was attended by the Mayor of Leioa, Iban Rodríguezwho wanted to accompany the students in this experience. During his speech, the mayor underlined the importance of working from childhood on the creation of safe school routes and the need to reduce the use of the car for short journeys, opting for alternatives such as walking or cycling.
Through participatory dynamics and age-appropriate activities, students reflected on how small everyday gestures, such as walking to school, can have a big impact:
The project Bizibideak is part of the commitment of the City Council and the educational centres of Leioa to promote initiatives that integrate the youngest children in the construction of a more sustainable and friendly municipality for everyone.
At the school we value this activity very positively, as it connects with our educational project and with the integral education of the pupils. It is also an opportunity for the children to learn, in a practical and close way, that they can also be protagonists in caring for the environment and improving life in the community.
The presence of the mayor was an added motivation for the students, who were able to share their ideas and experiences with him, feeling listened to and involved in a project that directly affects their daily lives.
