This toolkit on sustainability and cycling is a collection of tasks and materials specifically designed for schools to comprehensively address the topic of cycling in a school context. This toolkit has been designed with a clear motivation, specific goals and milestones to provide students with a holistic understanding of sustainable mobility.

The goals of this toolbox are multiple. On the one hand, students should acquire basic skills and knowledge in using bicycles in order to improve their cycling skills and safety. Second, to create awareness of the importance of bicycling in the context of sustainability. The toolbox aims to raise awareness of environmentally friendly mobility and encourage students to use bicycles as a sustainable transportation option in their everyday lives.

By using this toolbox, schools can make a significant contribution to education for sustainable development while strengthening their students' cycling skills. The toolbox offers a comprehensive collection of tasks and materials that aim to raise awareness of sustainable mobility and cycling while improving safety and skills in using bicycles. The tasks are mostly formulated in such a way that the given task texts and questions can also be implemented directly in the classroom. This means that the teacher does not have to reformulate and can use the tasks directly in class.
