Following on from first successful edition of The Green School Travel Plan, Nature Trust – FEE Malta will once again run the campaign during scholastic year 2022/2023.
This initiative is part of the EkoSkola Malta programme in schools across Gozo and Malta with a special focus on the theme of sustainable mobility involving a strong element of community outreach.
The organisers explained that the theme is not only relevant due to the daily challenges commuters face, it is also an urgent one in view of national and global concerns about transport and its effect on climate change.
The issue of mobility and its effect on climate change has been steadfast as a primary concern in students’ discussions following a series of summits for students organised by Nature Trust- FEE Malta.
This led to the introduction of an initiative called The Green School Travel Plan, whereby EkoSkola committee members used the 7-step EkoSkola methodology to investigate current school modalities to take action to improve their school’s mobility practices.
The HSBC Malta Foundation said that it is once again supporting EkoSkola Malta on the launch of the second edition of The Green School Travel Plan, a campaign intended to mobilise students and educators to choose less carbonised modalities when travelling to and from school as well as promoting fruitful collaboration within their localities.
