Dr Therese Bajada, Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development [1], University of Malta, has published a bilingual book for children on sustainable mobility.
The book is a collection of three short stories on using the bus, the bicycle and walking. It describes daily activities using sustainable modes of transport.
At the end of each story there are questions that involve creative thinking as recommended by Prof. Margaret Mangion from The Edward Debono Institute for Creative Thinking and Innovation.
It also includes a glossary of terms for the children to use and learn. The book was proofread by the National Literary Agency.
The book was sponsored by the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works and supported by the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation, is being distributed to all year 6 students around Malta and Gozo.
The launch took place this week at St Thomas More College, St Joachim Primary where both Minister Chris Bonett and Minister Clifton Grima were present and read the stories with the children.
