Participants in over 40 countries
Every year, millions of children in over 40 countries across the world take part in Walk to School in one way or another. In this country, participation has grown steadily and, in the first year, there were 26 participating schools, but a total of 75 schools had signed up for the event in 2020. On the project's website – www.gongumiskolann.is – you can find all the detailed information about the project, where you can, among other things, find some fun examples of how a number of schools in Iceland have implemented the project, as well as various other material from the participating schools.
The Healthy Town of Hafnarfjörður encourages all schools in Hafnarfjörður, parents and children to actively participate in the project next month! It's healthy and good to walk to school!
