摘要：The knowledge and the progressive cognitive and relational "appropriation" of theneighbouring area (road, block, neighbourhood...) by the child are the basicconditions that lead to citizenship as a concept. In this context, the ‘Pedibus’service, i.e. taking children to school on foot, has proved to be successful inparticular if it is carried out during pre-school years. Walking along the samesection of the street from home to school, observing and becoming familiar withsome parts of the landscape surrounding the town or the neighbourhood, is a veryuseful geographic exercise that lays the foundations for a conscious expression ofactive citizenship. In addition, the distance covered with other children promotesthe consolidation of relational skills and especially the development of behaviour,which entails the ability to observe the road rules, respecting other people and thenatural and social environment.
