Formigine

 

In Formigine 86 children with the support of 29 adults (parents, grandparents, volunteers),  in 4 schools were contributing 18304 Miglia Verde to the ZOOM Campaign this yaer.

 

With their "Bimbibus" activites, which were implemented in 2009 by the Municipality of Formigine in collaboration with the Agency for the Mobility of Modena (aMo www.amo.mo.it) and local schools, the children walked to school with defined timetable and stops, travelling at any kind of weather.

Every child and every adult wears a high-visibility bib and an identification badge with the logo of the Bimbibus project and his/her own name.
