First cycle of meetings: Upper secondary schoolAs part of the activities undertaken for the development of active citizenship skills, an educational project entitled KNOW YOUR ROAD took place in the classrooms of the San Marino High School from 5 to 11 May, organised in cooperation with the Civil Police, the Gendarmerie and the Civil Defence, with the aim of fostering awareness and the internalisation of values and behaviours that lead to responsible and constructive forms of coexistence.
Six meetings were held in which various aspects of road safety and the rules of the Highway Code were examined in depth, as well as behaviour to be adopted, the perception of risks and dangers, legal responsibility, protection of the integrity of the body and first aid.
The meetings were attended by 80 children attending five first classes of the Sammrinesi Institutes.
The close cooperation between the entities involved, with the common aim of training the new generations of citizens and disseminating good practices and virtuous behaviour, was fundamental in ensuring the project's success.
