Girls - Get on Yer Bikes!
Are you a teenage girl, trans girl, or nonbinary teen aged 12–18 in Glasgow with something to say about cycling, skating, rollerblading, or getting around your city? We want to hear from you!
As part of the Festival of Social Sciences 2025, Girls - Get on Yer Bikes! is a creative storytelling competition that invites you to explore and express how moving around your city fits into your life. From the joy of cycling, skating or rollerblading through your local park or the challenges you may face, we want you to share your experience.
From September 15th to October 24th, you can send us your creative take in any format you like:
- TikToks or short videos
- Stories or poems
- Art, collages, sculptures
- Or something totally original!
