“SAFE WAY TO HOME”: A NATIONWIDE LESSON ON ROAD SAFETY IS HELD IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

On November 17, the traditional national lesson “Safe Way to Home” on the basics of road safety and prevention of injuries as a result of road accidents is held in general secondary and vocational education institutions of the country.

A nationwide lesson on road safety is one of the events that the International Charitable Foundation “Assistance to Victims of Road Accidents” jointly with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine conduct within the 2nd stage of the national Road Safety Week.

 

A number of educational institutions hold in-person lessons, while some students learn through video materials in a remote format. In addition, many educational institutions invited police representatives to conduct interactive games and lessons on road and life safety for students.

During lessons, teachers can use methodological manual “Safe Way to Home”, as well as a number of thematic video materials developed by the International Charitable Foundation.

 

You can become more familiar with video materials on our website in the Unified national lesson section. They can also be found on the YouTube channel «Безпечна країна» (“Bezpechna kraina”).

 

In addition, new videos have been added to the educational materials on road safety. The Foundation adopted two more parts of the methodological manual “Safe Way to Home”.

 

So now, during the video lessons, students will be able to learn about the traffic rules for pedestrians and other road users, the peculiarities of cyclist’s traffic, as well as the peculiarities of wearing reflective elements.

 

We want to remind you that the materials of the YouTube channel «Безпечна країна» (“Bezpechna kraina”) can be used not only during the road safety weeks, but also at any time during the year during life safety classes, thematic educational hours and other educational activities on road safety.

 

Materials are targeted at different age groups of categories of students. They can be broadcasted to children online, recommended for viewing. The manual and video materials concern the rules of pedestrian behaviour on the streets and on the roads, on the railway, compliance with traffic rules when using bicycles. They raise the important topic of the use of reflective elements. They also teach the basics of providing premedical care in case of accidents.

 

The International Charitable Foundation “Assistance to Victims of Road Accidents” has been working in the field of road safety in Ukraine, in particular, on the prevention of road accidents and numerous human losses on the roads for more than 15 years.
