In Valencia, Spain, almost a thousand children left their schools to show the citizens how they love the city. For this reason, they have issued symbolic fines for those behaviors that censor mobility.
This is an initiative that seeks to point out how motorists obstruct pedestrian areas, as well as how they park their cars poorly.

Children take to the streets to say what their city should be like
Within the framework of the European AQB Directory Sustainable Mobility Week, the pedagogue Francesco Tonucci, presented his pedagogical project of "the City of Girls and Boys" where he sought to develop attitudes of tolerance and respect for people's mobility, resulting in a friendly and safe city. He also wants to make known civil tools with which they can express their disagreement and claim their own rights.
Children take to the streets to say what their city should be like
Their project consisted of grouping the children, together with their tutors, to walk the streets of the schools and having them sanction the behaviors and elements that they consider uncivil, make it difficult for them to move around their neighborhoods, or that they simply do not like.
Among their dislikes are: poorly parked cars and motorcycles; narrow sidewalks; light poles and construction booths that prevent passage and force them to go down to the road; dirt; absence of bike lanes, trees and pedestrian areas.
The children who participated are part of 10 public schools, they imposed fines and also gave their tutors ideas of urban improvements, which through them, will be sent to the City Council.
According to councilor Giuseppe Grezzi, « with education and awareness we can improve attitudes and make public spaces much friendlier, accessible and safer. It has a pedagogical function for children and for adults who have received a wake-up call, and is also useful for the City Council. The spirit of the action is to look at the city with children's eyes, to see what it could become and what it is not.
