ZOOM: How to participate
ZOOM Kids for Climate, how does it work?
During an activity week on sustainable mobility each journey covered by foot, bike, skater, bus, train etc. counts as one "Green Footprint" for the World's Climate. Climate Alliance will be handing over the total amount of Green Footprints collected to the participants of the next UN Climate Summit in the Emirat Qatar in Northafrica.
How to participate?
If your city, town, school, kindergarten, ... is ZOOMing in, please send an e-mail to zoom(at)climatealliance.org including:
- name and address of school (also contact person with e-mail)

After you've finished your activites please send us:

If you want to know how many Green Footprints the children collected so far please go to the Results section.
When to ZOOM in?
From April until November 2012 children aged 4-12 years old from all over Europe (and beyond) are asked to hold their activity week(s) on Climate Action.
Date and number of activity week(s) can be chosen free within this period, but we will ask all participants to collect Green Footprints during the least one week.
In December, Climate Alliance will hand over the Green Footprints collected from all over Europe (and beyond) to the participants of the next UN Climate Summit (26.11.-7.12. 2012) in Qatar.
Materials
The campaign's modules and materials offer concrete ideas and activities as well for nursery children and pupils up to 6th grade as for their parents and teachers that increase their awareness of eco-friendly mobility.
In the section Materials you find several downloads that you can use for your activity week on Climate Action. There is for example a Stickeralbum, that the children can use to collect their Green Footprints in.
You prefer to design your own album or you just want to collect footprints on a big poster with all children of your group? No problem! Just go ahead. We're looking forward to your version!
