School stories

This idea started when our teacher told us about the contest. It seemed to us a good opportunity to prevent people from having accidents. We have made a kind of dictionary with some captions and easy pictures for children to understand our aim.

The project is an awareness campaign on the need for general safety and efficiency of vehicles and transport. We want a more humane, safe, clean and sustainable city.

We decided that we should know more about mobility issues, so we ran a very interesting survey in our neighbourhood. Then we organised a campaign which we shared through social networks like twitter and facebook. We had a nice time doing it!

Our project aimed to promote use of the bicycle among students. We carried out a study of accessibility in our school IES Pradolongo, to be presented to the Madrid city council department of works.

In this project, two students from the final year of secondary school studied the cycle paths in our city and developed a plan to improve them. Furthermore they researched how to increase bicycle use among our school students.

In our video we want to:
• Show safe and dangerous attitudes
• Compare good habits versus bad behaviour
• Analyse the way from home to school to observe safety on this stretch

Students have developed a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of passive and active safety for pedestrians.

The students at Juan Manuel Zafra School recognized a need for a serious road safety awareness raising campaign in their community and decided to create a short film to share among fellow students and also through social networks.

Responsibility is the key word in improving road safety in the city according to the students from IES Ginés Pérez Chirinos. We are all responsible for road circulation, and we all can and should avoid risky situations.

One of the most important elements of road safety education is knowing the difference between risky and responsible behavior – this helps us to make better choices.

All parents want to safeguard the wellbeing of their children and protect them from danger, but they often forget that kids also need protection in the car. "Taking just a few seconds before driving can save a child’s life".

Traffic congestion in the city causes serious problems for mobility and for the environment. Students at IES Comuneros de Castilla have recognized the need to find greener forms of transportation to improve mobility in their community of Burgos.

“This is no urban legend”. With these words, the students from IES Virgen del Puerto tried to sum up all the terrifying things they see on the road each day, all the risky behaviors that result in accidents and death. These aren’t just scary stories – they happen!

Bad habits among road users and neglected road signs were not hard to find for these spanish students, they just went to the streets of their town and documented the road safety issues.

Upon noticing that young people are one of the groups most affected by traffic accidents, 35 Spanish high school students decided to address primary school pupils and educate them to have a better road safety consciousness.
