The campaign runs every year from 16th to 22nd September. European Mobility Week gives people the chance to experience car-free streets and encourages them to consider concrete solutions to tackle challenges like traffi c congestion, road safety, air pollution, climate change, the decline of public spaces and the many health issues caused by sedentary lifestyles. The week culminates in In Town Without My Car Day when participating towns and cities close one or more local roads for the day, restricting the movement of cars and reserving the area instead for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users. Aberdeen City Council, working with partners in the Getabout group2, has participated in European Mobility Week since 2010. Building on previous campaigns, Aberdeen’s 2015 programme consisted of a series of sustainable transport themed events running throughout the week (in schools, public spaces and at a public event). The week culminated with In Town Without My Car Day when the Council formally closed a selection of roads to motor traffi c for the day and fi lled them with events and activities for members of the public to participate in instead. 1 www.mobilityweek.eu 2 www.get-about.com This project received funding through the Smarter Choices, Smarter Places programme, which is administered by Paths for All and funded by Transport Scotland. 4 55 Aberdeen Promotes Smarter Travel Choices Aberdeen Promotes Smarter Travel Choices Since 2010 Aberdeen’s European Mobility Week City Moves on-street dance school; a bouncy process more involved.

  • The Royal Society of Edinburgh Issue 8 • Winter 2003/2004
    news THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH ISSUE 8 • WINTER 2003/2004 RESOURCE THE NEWSLETTER OF SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL ACADEMY RSE Agrees …Science Education Matters The first report of the independent expert group, the Scottish Science Advisory Committee (SSAC), Why Science Education Matters, published in November 2003, identifies a range of measures which seek to make science education in Scottish schools a matter of high priority. The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) welcomes this report and recognises the recruitment crisis faced by school science departments. The Society, with funding from the Scottish Executive, hopes to help contribute, in part, to reversing this problem by offering Scotland’s science and careers teachers Teaching Fellowships. This new scheme offers teachers the chance to undertake exciting projects in business, industry and research and aims to support them in encouraging higher-level science studies. Professor John Coggins, RSE Vice-President and Chair of the SSAC’s working group, said: Scotland is attempting to develop new science-based industries at a time when fewer students are applying to study science. It is vitally important to increase the number of science graduates. This new scheme will help science teachers become more aware of the latest developments in science and of the exciting opportunities for careers in science which they will be able to transmit to their pupils. The RSE believes that working together with other key bodies in Scotland in strategic partnership is the best way forward and actively promotes the education of young people throughout Scotland. Its programme of events for primary and secondary school students is designed to stimulate and develop an early interest in science, society and culture.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.
