Travelling Green is an exciting project designed in partnership with Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS. The project is aimed at Primary Five children, encouraging a change in lifestyle. Travelling Green is about choosing to walk all, or part of the way, to and from school and the many places we visit.
Children learn about health and fitness throughout the project and can map their journey to school as well as taking part in classroom activities. Weekly targets are set and progress monitored.
West Dunbartonshire won the Scottish National Transport Award 2003 for Road Safety for the Travelling Green project. Travelling Green has been recognised as an example of Good Practice and the Scottish Executive has provided funding to make the project available to all Primary Schools throughout Scotland.
