European Traffic Education Seminar 2022

Tuesday 13 September 2022 | 10:00-16:00 CEST
Hybrid event (Online & Madrid)

To sufficiently equip young road users to become safe road users, education remains of chief importance. This is especially true for secondary school pupils (aged 12 – 18) as they start to travel independently and have to deal with more complex traffic situations.

The seminar consisted of two distinct parts. The morning session focused on linking education on sustainable mobility with traffic safety, two topics that often go hand-in-hand. In particular, the morning session focused on educational projects that not only teach safe cycling or walking, but that also encourages the use of active and sustainable modes of transport, as well as projects that encourage safe and sustainable transport to and around schools. A report on this topic as well as a report on the road safety situation of children and youngster in Europe was presented during the seminar’s morning session.

The afternoon session featured presentations on the latest traffic education projects from across Europe.
