The LEARN! project’s first report provides an overview of the status of traffic safety and mobility education in Europe.
This report provides an overview of the status of traffic safety and mobility education across Europe from both a legal as well as a practical perspective. It sets out where in Europe such education is given, at what level (e.g. primary and/or secondary), if it is required by law, who teaches the course, and how the lessons are structured.
The report also examines mobility education from the wider perspective of health and sustainability as well as the EU’s role in traffic safety and mobility education.
It also looked at the road safety situation for children and youngsters during the period 2006-2016. However a more recent overview on the safety of children and youngsters has since been published in LEARN! Flash 2, covering the period up to 2021.
