The adventures of John and Mary in the city

Abstract

The book, written by Dr Thérèse Bajada, is aimed at children aged nine to eleven and tells three short stories that include different modes of sustainable transport such as the bus, the bicycle and walking. These stories offer realistic situations that children can identify with, and stimulates them to think creatively about how they can see Malta in the future in terms of sustainable mobility. With the aim that by educating today's children, it will be the key to a future less dependent on the car with a positive change in the country's transport culture.

Il-ktieb, miktub minn Dr Thérèse Bajada, huwa mmirat lejn tfal ta' bejn id-disa' u l-ħdax-il sena u jirrakkonta tliet stejjer qosra li jinkludu modi differenti ta' trasport sostenibbli bħal karozza tal-linja, ir-rota u l-mixi. Dawn l-istejjer joffru sitwazzjonijiet realistiċi li t-tfal jistgħu jidentifikaw magħhom, u jistimulawhom jaħsbu b'mod kreattiv dwar kif jistgħu jaraw lil Malta fil-futur f'termini ta' mobilità sostenibbli. Dan bil-għan li bl-edukazzjoni tat-tfal tal-lum, tkun iċ-ċavetta ta' futur anqas dipendenti fuq il-karozza b'bidla pożittiva fil-kultura tat-trasport tal-pajjiż.
