Media Project 2008: Media Stuff

In 2008, young people used video, comic strips and Powerpoint presentations to get their voices heard about issues on the streets where they walk.

The ideas below were created by the Step Up teams from Darlington who visited the Walk21 conference in Barcelona.

Living Streets gives evidence to parliament

Living Streets, the charity behind the National Walk to School Campaign, and Step Up, has been asked to give evidence at the Transport Committee's enquiry into school travel.

The Transport Committee is made up of MP's from many different political parties. Their role is to report to parliament about how the Department for Transport is performing. They are looking at the impact of the new Education and Inspections Act, and whether anything needs to be done to improve how young people travel to school.

You can watch Tony Armstrong, Living Streets Chief Executive, presenting his evidence on Wednesday 22nd October 2008, from 2.45 on the www.parliamentlive.tv website.
