France

As a brand new member of Climate Alliance, the city of Strasbourg did not want to miss its chance to be the first French municipality to coordinate the Kids for Climate campaign for the educational institutions in its city.

So they adapted some of the campaign materials to their circumstances and distributed them to the school.
The information material for parents, for example, outlines the benefits for children of participating in the campaign. In addition to learning climate-friendly behavior, these include better safety skills in dealing with traffic, strengthening the sense of community and responsibility, as well as health benefits achieved by more exercise.

 

Two schools were involved in the first year:

At École de la Niederau, 363 children from 15 classes were hard at work and collected 3073 empreintes vertes/green miles during their collection week.
