Safe Future training the teachers in Zaragoza, Spain

The SAFE FUTURE IN MOBILITY project’s train-the-teachers event, supported by Erasmus+, was organised in Zaragoza between 25 to 27 June.

Throughout three days of the programme, information seminars were held at the premises of Mobility City and Educatrafic road safety organisations, as well as at the IMASCONO offices, by representative partner organisations and selected trainers from each country.

The partner institutions were also given the opportunity to discuss the next steps that should be undertaken in order to ensure the dissemination of the educational materials produced in the educational environment, informing and equipping teachers with the necessary materials and tools developed under the SAFE FUTURE programme.

Since the third day of the training session focused on discussions, the first two days of the meeting were dedicated to information and presentation events for our teachers:

The first day of the Train-the-trainers meeting in Zaragoza, Spain.

Our trainers started by gaining insight into the active programmes of the Directorate General of Traffic in Zaragoza, mainly targeting youth road safety education.

Afterwards, they learned more about the Mobility City projects, objectives and activities as good practices and also visited the Mobility Museum.

On the second day of our train-the-teacher activity in Zaragoza, we spent the day at Educatrafic. Our participants had the opportunity to learn about the contents of our road safety training for secondary school students. The road safety sessions aim to provide practical road safety tools, to raise awareness among participants and to reduce accidents.

Road safety training at the Kondorosi Petőfi István School

On the 19th of June 2024, we provided road safety training for the senior students of the Kondoros Petőfi István Primary School (Kondorosi Petőfi István Általános Iskola).

During our road safety training, the students were divided into three groups, so that we were able to engage with them in an easy and more detailed way throughout each of our road safety workshops.

Road safety workshops:

☑️Drunken goggles and driver’s code fortune wheel, where playful teaching methods are used to explain the dangers of drunk driving.

🚗 Car simulators and video discussion, to promote legitimate and preventive driving.

🚲 Cycling simulator and cycling, discussing the risks of alcohol consumption.

We are grateful for the invitation by the school and the students’ attention and receptiveness!

Narrative report: Staff Mobility Transnational Meeting in Montpellier, April 8-12

From April 8 to 12, the representatives of Z Generációért Alapítvány (ZGA) participated in a detailed and immersive five-day staff mobility transnational meeting in Montpellier, France. The delegation included two representatives, one of whom was the foundation’s president. The meeting was hosted by our French partner, Ediser, and provided a comprehensive insight into various facets of road safety initiatives and technological advancements.

At Ediser’s facilities in Montpellier, we delved into their wide-ranged activities, including the provision of official driving license exam questions, publication of driving materials, and the production of cutting-edge driving simulators. A significant highlight was the demonstration of their in-house production of driving simulators. Participants were given the opportunity to try firsthand a range of simulators, from light vehicle simulations to specialized experiences for two-wheelers and individuals with disabilities – particularly noteworthy was the testing of the truck and bus simulators. Throughout the entire experience, Ediser representatives provided detailed insights into simulated driving challenges, corrective actions, and skill enhancement strategies. Additionally, we had the privilege of experiencing one of Ediser’s virtual reality software, designed to familiarize users with pre-driving checks for buses—a blend of familiar elements and new insights that added depth to our understanding.

Another significant aspect of the meeting was the deep dive into France’s road safety strategies, shedding light on initiatives undertaken since the 1990s to reduce road fatalities. Of particular interest was the governance structure, showcasing a dedicated interministerial position for road safety reporting to several ministers—a testament to the multifaceted impact of road safety on society and the economy. The presentation of communication and marketing tools further underscored Ediser’s proactive approach to promoting road safety awareness and their related products.

An integral part of the meeting was the visit to the local agency of the French Road Safety Association (Association Prévention Routière), a national ONG dedicated to promoting road safety, with local branches in each French department (administrative division of France). Here, participants gained firsthand knowledge of the association’s activities and operational strategies, with valuable insights into their nationwide and local operations. Of particular interest was the discussion surrounding the Cycling Challenge for children, a national event which showcased innovative collaborations between the association and local police to promote safe cycling skills among youth. Local police departments across France actively participate in organizing and overseeing the challenge in their respective communities.

Throughout the event, participants engaged in fruitful knowledge exchange sessions, identifying challenges in their respective countries and exploring potential solutions drawn from the French experience. The cultural immersion in Montpellier added a delightful dimension to the event, enriching the overall experience.

The staff mobility transnational meeting in Montpellier was a comprehensive and enriching experience for Z Generációért Alapítvány. As we return to Hungary, we are eager to explore opportunities to leverage the knowledge gained to enhance road safety initiatives in our country. We look forward to implementing the learnings from the meeting and exploring potential avenues for collaboration with our partners.

Transnational Staff Meeting in Athens

A Transnational Staff Meeting took place in Athens between 13-15 March 2024, organized by the Panos Mylonas Road Safety Institute (RSI). This meeting brought together representatives from the Foundation for Generation Z (ZGA) and Ediser, working in the field of road safety, to share information and learn about each other’s organizations. Moreover, the meeting aimed to foster mutual learning and knowledge sharing.

 

In addition to the formal discussions, in the meantime, we also discussed an upcoming occasion, where the Road Safety trainers will have the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge of Ediser’s work and its digital materials, simulators, virtual reality (VR) glasses, and software. The trainers will have the opportunity to explore how these digital resources could be integrated into their existing road safety education programs at all levels. They will learn how these tools could enhance the effectiveness of their training, providing interactive and engaging experiences for their audiences.
