This event has ended

Nationwide, Monday 24th May - Friday 28th May

National Walk to School Week takes place from May 24th and May 28th, 2021. We are delighted to be able to celebrate Walk to School Week this year and hope to celebrate the great achievements made in schools around the country that have increased the numbers of children walking to school, during this very different academic year.

During Walk to School Week we’ll hear from Claire McDonald from Green-Schools, who will take us on a journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro and back! Dr. Elaine Murtagh from the University of Limerick will talk to us about different – fun! – ways to walk and the impact of walking on our mental and physical health. Writer John G. O’Dwyer will join us to share his extensive knowledge about historic Irish pilgrim routes and “walk us” through the many fascinating features of the practice of pilgrimage.
