Resources for Schools and Parents

We created an e-zine on car idling and children’s health in schools which was co-developed with HSE practitioners. Copies have been sent out to all primary schools in Cork. Feel free to use in schools or have a look for some more information! Download it here

Here are some activities we completed in the workshops which took place in schools. Have a look and use these resources to learn more about Clean Air! Here is our guide on our workshops if you would like to do your own!!

• Have a go at our Clean Air Champion Bingo!
• Test out you critical thinking skills when it comes to air quality and children
• Play a round of our online sorting game and see how many you can get right!
