The Walk to School project starts on the 8th of September
The Walk to School project - http://www.iwalktoschool.org/ - starts on Wednesday September 8th and will formally end with the International Walk to School Day on Wednesday October 6th. The aim of the project is to encourage children to adopt an active mode of transport to and from school and to increase their ability to travel safely in traffic.
Participants in over 40 countries
Every year, millions of children in over 40 countries around the world participate in Walk to School in one way or another. In Iceland, participation has grown steadily and in the first year there were 26 participating schools, but a total of 75 schools registered for in 2020.
The Health Town of Hafnarfjörður encourages all schools in Hafnarfjörður, parents and children to actively participate in the project! It's healthy and good to walk to school!
