What is the resource about?
The Travel theme of the Green‑Schools Ireland programme supports schools in reducing car dependence and making everyday journeys more sustainable. It provides guidance, activities and campaigns that help students explore safe walking and cycling routes, learn about road safety, understand the environmental impact of transport and take part in national initiatives like Walk on Wednesdays or Bike Week.

Why is the resource useful for VET actors?
This resource offers a model that VET schools can easily adapt to encourage low‑carbon mobility and active travel among students. By combining awareness‑raising with hands‑on campaigns, it supports behaviour change, strengthens community participation and helps learners understand how sustainable transport choices connect directly to climate action and daily wellbeing.
