Engaging Teenage Girls, Sefton

February 2nd, 2011, Cycling England - Scheme of the Month

A group of girls aged 12-14 from Greenbank High School in Southport spent three months producing a film called ‘Pedal Power – The Way Forward’, it shows how they have explored cycling and the role it can play in local people’s lives. The film was premièred at a special event at Southport Arts Centre.

The film includes footage of Greenbank pupils, interviewing local councillors, Cycling Officers, teachers, and the town’s MP. It also includes cycling skills on the roads in and around Southport, bike maintenance, health reasons why we should cycle and many more. The girls met and interviewed a teacher and assistant head from Holland to see how many children cycle to school in Holland and now have a link with the school thanks to Andy from North City Learning Centre.
