In 2019 Green-Schools worked with teenage girls to develop the #andshecycles campaign to shine a light on the barriers currently reducing the rate of girls choosing to cycle. This national campaign wants to help girls get back on their bikes while addressing some of the reasons they’re reluctant to in the first place. The next phase of the campaign will take to the road with roadshow-style, regional events around the country. The #andshecycles Roadshow will be held in five different towns and cities across Ireland between February and May 2020.  www.greenschoolsireland.org
