Izegem While in Brussels and Leuven, thousands of people came on the street, organized the children of Freinetschool The Little Magician in Emelgem gisterennamiddag their own klimaatmars. Two hundred children, their parents and teachers went with pamphlets and banners through the streets. It is remarkable that the initiator, the Roan from the third class, less than 5 years of age.
“Co2, no, no, no!” sounded from dozens of kindermonden, while banners carried with slogans like ‘There is no planet B”, and ” Not only steaming, long live the trees’. The commitment was missing, the 180 pupils from Freinetschool, their parents and the teachers certainly didn’t. In a few days they decided a private klimaatmars to organize. Roan Oosterlinck (5) from the third kindergarten class had the idea Monday at his teacher Olivia suggested. “I am on 27 January, with my parents meegestapt in the large klimaatmars in Brussels”, says the boy. “I thought it important that also the other children in my school about the climate taught, and that we should show that we want change. I asked whether we are allowed to organize, and the teacher thought that was a good idea. This is how the idea for our own klimaatmars arise.”
