Ready to do your first Schools for Clean Air action? Great! This section has everything you need to know to get started. You’ll notice that it’s actually very easy and fun to take part. And it’s a very effective way of making your local government take action on air quality and road safety.
Read the manifesto and think about what you want exactly for your (school) environment. This way you are prepared for questions from the press, local residents or other parents.
Check with your local police station if any formalities are needed. You buy striped ribbons in a DIY shop and you just stretch the street on both sides.
Too busy a street or one that is difficult to close?
The safety of the children is a priority. Do not take any risks in this respect.
Do something fun and provide accessories
A warm welcome works best
Send an email to the (local) politicians and invite them over for coffee. Tell them why you are taking action and what you want in concrete terms. But: don't let any political party take over/recover your action. It is an appeal to all political parties.
Let everyone know what you're doing
Create a facebook group, share via Instagram, ... : use social media to strengthen your message!
Photos on Instagram with #schoolsforcleanair will appear on the social media wall of this website.
Get more attention with creativity
Create flyers with minimal effort
Parents, join in!
The action that we want to promote is as simple as the message : close off the streets of schools on every Friday morning, before school starts. Have a cup of coffee together and let the children play in the car-free street. Invite local politicians to come and join you for a coffee. Take photos and post and share them on social media. Why? Air quality round our school is bad. We want a healthy environment for our children.
