At the Siggiewi Primary School on Malta, children from kindergarten and primary school kicked-off the app-pilot October 2023. But already from the beginning of 2023 the school was involved, since they (teachers, students and caregivers) gave insight into their needs, wishes and concerns regarding the app functionalities, but also on children's participation in traffic, safe schoolzones and the current walking infrastruct!ure. In co-creation we then established the functionalities of the app! The local police, Transport Malta and Project Eagle Foundation (PAF) also made a substantial effort in making it a community driven app by and for the society.

It became clear that there is a high need for an app that would reduce the cars not only at schoolzones, but also on the roads towards the schools, since it makes it a real challenge for the children and caregivers to get around safely. Having a walking buddy assured that the children are guided (however as you can see from the picture > the children were also carefully looking after each other!)

The Maltese use case

At Siggiewi Primary School in Malta, nursery and primary school children took part in a pilot programme, kicking off in 2023.

The entire school (teachers, pupils and parents/carers) was involved. Through a co-creation process, the needs, wishes and concerns were taken into account and translated into the final functionalities of the programme.

The local police, Transport Malta and Project Eagle Foundation (PAF) worked closely together to design the programme and app to meet all needs.

Since then, the children have kept up the tradition of walking to school together every day, taking two different routes!

The effect

The pilot demonstrated the urgent need for a solution that not only reduces car traffic around school zones, but also prioritizes safe routes to school.

The walking buddies provided safe guidance and encouraged older children to look out for younger ones. After three months of testing, measurements showed that half of the children had quickly become much more aware of their behaviour in traffic and of road safety. The programme also had strong social effects. More parents started walking with their children, and they even built a bag trolley together!

The usage of the sCOOL2walk app on the streets of Riga

The effect

The sCOOL2walk pilot in Riga showed that enjoyment of walking was a strong motivating factor, and that walking together increased this enjoyment. sCOOL2walk also had a strong impact on communal relationships and feelings of security.

Due to the presence of extreme cold weather conditions, guided walks were deemed an essential safety measure, being considered much safer than cycling during heavy frost.

Combining public transport with walking was the ideal way to tackle the cold and longer distances!

The Spanish use case

During the period of the 13th of September till the 13th of November the sCOOL2walk pilot was active in Barcelona at the Sant Ramon Nonat school. Here the pilot consisted of 30 teen and a walking buddy that participated in the pilot.
‍
The local stakeholders of this pilot consisted of Carnet and The City Council of Barcelona. And made this pilot possible.

The effect

Conclusions based on a survey amongst the users of the sCOOL2walk pilot in Barcelona 75% said that the usage of the pilot gave them more enjoyment in walking and made them more aware of the safety. 83% mentioned a stronger communal relationship and stronger sense of feeling secure. With 60% of the people having a strong intention to continue with the sCOOL2walk platform and a reduction of 17% in the car usage.

sCOOL2 walk is a digital web application that allows a parent or guardian to announce the route the child will take and discover others in the community who are planning a similar journey.
Students will connect with each other and make the trip together.

Traffic education in practice

What drives the sCOOL2walk traffic education program? How does it work, how can it be implemented, and which elements and phases make it so effective?

Read on to discover the methodology, or explore the handbook below.

Explore the handbook below!

The sCOOL2walk co-creation programme, development with children for the children!

Why is sCOOL2walk so important?

Children's physical activity levels decrease significantly, resulting in a loss of motor skills. This threatens their overall health and long-term well-being.

In order to take up a sport, a child must first possess a broad motor foundation consisting of adequately developed movement skills (such as walking, running and jumping), object skills (such as throwing, catching, hitting and kicking a ball), and balance skills.

This foundation is thus of great importance for the later development of more sport-specific skills. In addition, children must learn to anticipate and develop flexible capacity in order to establish full motor control, which is necessary in the unpredictable environment of sports, among other things.

sCOOL2walk is an accessible way of easy, daily movement to develop the necessary motor skills for this motor foundation. And In order to set the right, healthy behaviour patterns from an early age.

Certified by

sCOOL2walk has been evaluated by CROW, the knowledge platform for infrastructure, public space, traffic, and transport. With a high rating, the program has been included in the CROW Knowledge Catalogue for Traffic Education. This recognition highlights the program’s strong scientific foundation and its effectiveness in improving traffic skills and awareness.

Traffic education in practice

What drives the sCOOL2bike traffic education program? How does it work, how can it be implemented, and which elements and phases make it so effective?

Read on to discover the method, or explore the handbook below.

Explore the handbook below!

Why is sCOOL2bike so important?

Children aren't getting enough physical activity. The consequences? Poor motor skills, concentration problems and a lack of self-confidence in traffic.

At the same time, they are missing out on the opportunity to develop important skills that they will need throughout their lives. Cycling to school together solves more than this exercise deficit; it brings so much more:

Motor skills: balance, coordination and a broad foundation of movement skills for sports and games
Traffic skills: learning to anticipate and participate independently in traffic
Concentration: Exercise prior to school ensures better focus in the classroom
Social skills: friendships and teamwork-skills
Healthy habits: patterns that last a lifetime

Developed in co-creation

With the support of the Dutch province of Zeeland, we were able to develop the sCOOL2bike program. In co-creation with parents and children, we designed a complementary program that includes a web app and data-dashboard.

These tools support and guide cycling groups, help measure results, and enable continuous improvement of routes, meeting points, and attention points.

Check out the pilot!

This also provides insight into enthusiastic participants and committed guides, allowing schools to recognise and support those who motivate others and take the lead.

The cycling edition

In Veere, we recently started our co-creation development process for sCOOL2bike!

On assignment from the Province of Zeeland (Living Lab Smart Mobility), we are working with the 5th-8th grade classes at De Magdalon primary school in Veere, Zeeland!

The functionalities of the sCOOL2bike app are shaped in close collaboration, based on the needs, wishes and concerns of our end-users: the parents and children!

The development

The cycling routes, stops, and attention points are mapped out together with the pupils and parents/guardians and added to the app.

During in-class workshops, we analyse all needs and barriers to ensure the programme meets everyone's wishes and therefore lowers the barrier to taking part in the daily cycling trips to school!

See our Workshops

The kick-off!

At Wednesday 19th of November 2025 the sCOOL2bike webapp was launched at the school!

See our Workshops

The sCOOL2bike in-class workshops with children

With the ‘cycle bus’, pupils can cycle to school in groups under the supervision of cycling-buddies, departing for school together every day from designated bike stops. At the same time, they actively learn to participate in traffic safely.
