Organizing a “Walking School Bus”

- Synopsis -

Organize a “Walking School Bus” so that elementary school children can get to school in a safe, healthy and fossil-fuel-free manner. Walking School Buses are programs that allow children to walk to school in a supervised group along a predetermined route, picking up and dropping off students at assigned stops. The program is an alternative to parents driving their children to school, encouraging both parents and children to walk, and making the area around the school safer for pedestrians. Parents feel confident that their children are safe while walking to school. And kids can socialize, stay fit, and learn the importance of people-powered transportation at an early age.

The scripts are designed as guidelines. Just as each theatre company’s production of Hamlet is different, each group will interpret the scripts differently. Groups can interpret a project to reflect their community’s particular needs and interests. As more groups begin experimenting, we will be able to develop our pool of resources, information and research on relocalization efforts. The Relocalization Network at relocalize.net provides space for this information sharing under the resource menu item. The more groups document and add content to the website, the more useful these relocalization experiments will be.

The key to using these Action Scripts successfully is to adapt them to your group’s needs, time availability and skill level. Take on project that are attainable and measurable. And above all, choose projects that inspire and excite your group.
