The BIKE CROSS project is implemented within the framework of the Interreg VI-A Hungary-Croatia Cross-Border Programme 2021-2027.
The overall objective of the project is to encourage students and teachers to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle, to develop awareness of sustainable transport, and to connect natural sciences, social subjects, and physical activity through interdisciplinary learning in a real-world environment.
The project focuses on educating primary school students and teachers about sustainable transport, environmental protection, and the natural, cultural, and historical heritage of the cross-border region of Croatia and Hungary, using cycling as an educational tool.
