A2102 RAISE AWARENESS AND IMPROVE CAPABILITIES
This task aims to motivate students to engage in sustainable mobility by giving them the tools they need to become well-informed and involved in the field. For that, it is necessary to incorporate sustainable mobility principles into schools' educational programs through the design of novel educational content and its subsequent application in the urban environment.
Students are taught about sustainable mobility concepts through four pillars that comprise its core features: Clean Mobility, Safe Mobility, Accessible Mobility, and Connected Mobility.
Training sessions for teachers
Ces4Kids holds meetings with the teachers of the pilot schools to provide general information about the project and the educational plan, but primarily to help them better understand the developed educational material on the basic concepts and fundamentals of sustainable mobility, which includes a thorough explanation of the four pillars of sustainable mobility, the applicability of proposed practical exercises, and a review of any possible adaptations.
Take a look to the Contents!
A2102.1 Teaching of educational content with children
Within this stage, each institution's instructors conduct two educational sessions, one for each age group, based on the educational content structures, which are delivered in two well-explained and visually appealing dossiers. As a result, the first session provided a rapid overview of the mobility ecosystem and the explanation of the first two pillars of sustainable mobility, while the second session covered the final two pillars. Children were given a questionnaire at the end of the activity to measure their understanding after the teaching sessions. Each school chose whether to fill it out in class or at home.
Check out the dossiers:
8 to 12 yeasr old
13 to 17 years old
A2102.2 Hads-on learning in the urban environment
OBJECTIVES: This activity aims to strengthen the connection between the educational program and the physical environment to promote in pupils dynamic and active learning.
WHERE: Schools' physical space and their surroundings will become an innovative and living setting where students can put into practice the knowledge and skills previously acquired through the educational material taught in class.
HOW: Students will play the role of a mobility planner for one day, which will allow them to identify and analyze the barriers present in their environment that limit having more sustainable mobility.

EXCHANGE
A2103 TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN SUPPORT TRUST RELATIONSHIPS
This task focuses on fostering a win-win relationship of trust and exchange between children and youth and their local mobility ecosystem by organizing several events targeted at strengthening this connection. Events and interactive activities for knowledge transfer are created for this purpose, which can be tailored to the needs and demands of each region if necessary. At the same time, new tools and methods for gathering quantitative and qualitative data on students' mobility habits are developed. This task also establishes the groundwork for a testbed that will allow for the evaluation of new products or services aimed at enhancing daily mobility to and from schools, making it a key stage in the project.
A2103.1 Celebration of knowledge transfer and raise awareness events
OBJECTIVE: To build a win-win relationship of trust and exchange between the target group and the local mobility ecosystem by organizing a diverse range of activities aimed at strengthening this connection.
HOW TO REACH: Some events for knowledge transfer will be organized such as study visits, open house events, and thematic workshops which will contribute to raising awareness among pupils about the need of adopting sustainable mobility habits.
A2103.2 Collection of data from children and families
OBJECTIVE: To develop tools and methods for the collection of precise quantitative and qualitative data about pupils' mobility habits.
Check out the surveys:
• Survey for the age group from 8 to 12
• Survey for the age group from 13 to 17
A2103.3 Testbed for new mobility solutions with children
OBJECTIVE: This task's main goal is to lay the groundwork for novel systems that will improve daily mobility to and from schools. The work done in CES4Kids could be put into reality in the future, allowing industry stakeholders and governments to test novel mobility solutions and get useful feedback on how to improve them. The primary distinction from business as usual is that schools are invited to participate in this process of identifying a solution that will better suit students' mobility demands and have a real impact on their mobility habits.
HOW TO REACH: Pupils, teachers, and school representatives who want to actively participate in the process would provide significant information to urban mobility planners. The goal of this testbed solution is to create online questionnaires for industry actors, municipalities, and schools to confirm their input requirements for students and the school community, as well as identify potential synergies between the municipality and the industry sector for the implementation of new mobility solutions in the area. Municipalities, industry, and academia might share and leverage the data and expertise gained from the innovative solutions tested to build more efficient mobility services.
The following are the links to the three different questionaries:
• Questionnaire for industry sector
• Questionnaire for cities / municipalities / City Club
• Questionnaire for school representatives

EMPOWER
A2104 EMPOWER THROUGH CO-CREATION
Proposals to improve urban design and mobility services
OBJECTIVE: To involve pupils directly in the co-creation of mobility strategic planning.
HOW: Reape the fruits of the work done previously by pupils in the diagnosis of their school’s surroundings searching for unsafe conditions and points of improvement, having the chance to elaborate, debate, and prioritise their own proposals on how to improve urban design and mobility services.
WHAT'S NEXT? Once the co-creation activity is completed, CES4Kids will effort to scale up the findings, the solutions, and instruments used in the project.
OUTCOME: The provision of a toolset that compile guidelines, tools, and processes on how to engage and empower citizens in urban mobility planning.
A2104.1 Participation process with the support of DecidiUM digital platform
This activity focuses on directly involving students in the co-creation of strategic mobility plans. This work also includes a review of how this democratic technique of strategic planning deliberation and decision-making can be scaled-up and decontextualized to be replicated on different target groups and audiences. This activity focuses on harvesting the fruits of pupils' previous work during the diagnosis of each school's surroundings, allowing them to develop their own proposals on how to improve urban design, mobility services, and public policies that affect their mobility habits, all while remaining true to the principles of sustainable mobility. Individual recommendations are prioritized as part of a co-creation process, leading to the establishment of a Sustainable Mobility Plan for each school.

DISSEMINATION
RESULS & DISSEMINATION EVENTS
The Dissemination task serves two main goals:
1) to develop a citizen engagement methodology based on the project's experience, and
2) to develop a playbook for communicating the project's accomplishments.
The CES4Kids project experience will be used to establish a methodology for citizen engagement, which will compile guidelines, tools, and processes for better engaging and empowering citizens in urban mobility planning through digital and innovative means. As a consequence, we'll have a methodology that can be simply applied to other citizen engagement efforts directed at any target group.
