Cycling4SEEd
From March to June 2012, Mike and Marika will cycle over 1000 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats delivering workshops in schools and visiting community projects to celebrate and encourage sustainability education. The goal is to share the practice they find in video, in competitions, online so as to inspire more schools to take up sustainability education. The knowledge and information we gather will feed directly into the development of the National Sustainable Curriculum Project (SCP)
Over the 1400 miles they will visit and spend time with up to 30 schools and communities running:
- Student sustainability film-making sessions
- Staff workshops
- Head Teacher and Staff support sessions
- Community visits to see projects and their positive impacts
- We shall also be encouraging students, teachers and the general public to 'get on their bikes' and cycle with us
