Road safety education
At Make Roads Safe Hellas we believe in the great importance of systematic traffic education through structured educational programs to children and adults. In other words, we believe that the development of knowledge and skills would enable the individuals (as road users) to better identify road risks and to adopt an appropriate behavior for the prevention and avoidance of accidents.
Educational programs for children
Our Road Safety Program for Children is offered for more than seven years to schoolchildren by Make Roads Safe Hellas partners or by the teachers themselves. It is adapted to the learning abilities and needs of children aged (a) under 6 years old, (b) 6-12 years and (c) 12-14 years.
The Program utilizes the EASST Road Safety Education Pack, which is a global iteaching resource that provides stimulating and engaging activities to introduce road safety messages and behaviours to kids. The pack has been developed in co-operation with our EASST Partners as well as highly experienced UK road safety experts including the UK Government’s Think! Campaign.
Programs for motorcycle drivers
