School stories

Our project encourages our community to travel in a more environmentally-friendly way with the objective of  both helping the environment and promoting the safety on the road in our society. This will be achieved through the enlightenment of all the benefits of carpooling.

Do you know what the electric car is and what are its benefits? If you still don't know this text can help you!

Our project objective was generating awareness of road safety in drivers and pedestrians.

Our campaign consists of promoting the use of bicycle in our neighborhood. As we live in a private, gated neighborhood, going to school on a bike is extremely safe. Also the school roads get a lot of car traffic so promoting bike use would help fix this problem. Furthermore, we believe that riding a bike has benefits for the environment, and both physical and mental health. In order to promote these ideas we took action with various different activities around the school. 

We belong to the generation that wants to decrease mortality statistics for traffic accidents. Having observed the existence of kerchief as a symbol of belonging to an ideological group, we consider that we could identify those people who share our ideas about road safety. After having identified the problem we decided to create the fluo kerchief; that color was chosen for being the reglementary vest that all the drivers must have.

In our country, Argentina, almost 20 people die on average per day because of traffic accidents. After finding out this alarming truth, we started this project, so people would become aware of the reality.

We organized a game for children from 8 to 9 years old to inform them about the traffic signals, the benefits of using the bicycle and the use of protective equipment to cycle safely in the streets

To raise awareness about the risks of driving under the effects of alcohol consumption and the lives lost due to this risk behavior we created a poster, brochures and an educational video to reach young people and adults.

We, the Science Olympics Club, decided to investigate and try to solve three main issues: bicycle lines' misuse, acequias (a kind of ditch our province has to distribute water) getting clogged and flooding our streets, and animal-vehicle collisions.

During two months we worked on the topic of risky behaviors, investigating and doing activities to make people aware of them. We created games, movies, posters, videos and songs to reach the community and find possible solutions to this problem.

In this project we analyzed the most usual traffic problems in terms of compliance with the rules and we created a video to share our message and promote road responsible behaviors.

“A community working for the community” is a project that aims to implement an awareness campaign in our school, neighborhood and city community regarding road safety and sustainable mobility.

The use of electronic devices is the 4th cause of accidents. We wanted to induce a change for road safety and we made a video to show the importance of moderating the use of new technologies and using only electronic devices than can help driving.

Our project consists of many small initiatives which we have created to generate an improvement to road safety in our community.

Our project seeks to raise awareness by thinking about road education and delving into the depths of caring for others and for oneself based on mutual respect and a value for life. Consensus building has been the strategy we have chosen.

We are from San Patrick's School (Yerba Buena, Tucuman) and our project is based on a very common local problem, motorcycles accidents. We collected information and created a poster to make people realize the situation we are living in.

Our project looks to answer the question of how to improve our school’s street flow because at entrance/exit times, for around 5-15 minutes, the traffic moves very slowly. We wanted to find out why this happen and what can we do.

It is impossible to educate and generate respectful behavior without providing a good example. This reality is brought to our attention every morning in our community as students head to school. As a result, we work on this campaign.

Students carried out an awareness campaign on pedestrian road safety by doing face to face interviews and reporting real statistics on the issue.
