Road Stars

Road Stars – ModeShift Stars

The Road Stars training equips teachers with the confidence to teach the concept of sustainable and safe transport to their pupils. It specifically relates to the National Modeshift STARS awards and the messages of the wider global issues caused by not making the greener choices of travel. It also gives exciting ideas for ways of teaching the Green Cross Code, how to travel safely when you walk or bike or catch the bus and travel by car.
