DESCRIPTION:

National Scoot to School Week in Ireland, initiated by Green Schools Ireland in 2015, promotes healthier and more environmentally friendly modes of transportation for primary school students. The week encourages children to use scooters, walk, bike, or utilize public transport to travel to and from school to address health and environmental concerns.

National Scoot to School Week addresses pressing health issues, as evidenced by studies showing a decline in physical activities among school children in Ireland and an alarming rise in obesity rates. In addition to combating health problems, it also focuses on environmental sustainability. Reducing reliance on private transport helps tackle air pollution, which is a significant environmental risk in Ireland.

The week includes various activities designed to make scooting to school enjoyable and safe. Schools often organize events like scooter races, workshops, and road safety education sessions. The week champions physical exercise and aims to reduce the number of cars on the road, thereby contributing to environmental preservation.

Since its inception, National Scoot to School Week has expanded its impact, encouraging a shift in mindset towards healthier lifestyles and environmental consciousness among children and their families.
