School Streets and Beyond - Making the School Run Safe, Healthy and Fun

Join us for an informative and practical event aimed at schools across Greater Manchester who are ready to take the first steps towards a more sustainable school run. Whether you are a teacher, governor or parent, come along and find out more about how to get started with your school.

The free in-person event has a packed agenda including expert speakers, a panel discussion and opportunities to take part in discussions with school representatives, community members and active citizen groups, who between them have lots of experience to share on setting up and running school streets and other behaviours change interventions to encourage active travel.

Learn more about how to create a school journey that’s not just safer—but healthier and more fun for everyone:

• What works (and what doesn’t)
• Working with volunteers to manage a school street
• How to set up walking buses and bike trains
• How to get road safety audits done
• How to set up a walk to school challenge
• Getting children and young people involved in changing behaviour
• And much more

As you arrive, you'll even be able to experience a real School Street event outside the Centre.

You’ll come away with lots of tips and ideas to make walking and wheeling to school easier and more appealing. We’ll even give you a practical toolkit to take back with you at the end of the conference to help you get started!

Please note: tickets are limited to 2 per school you are representing or involved with.

This event has been organised by Walk Ride Greater Manchester and Mums for Lungs. It has been kindly sponsored by Leigh Day Solicitors.
