The project informed the students about the problem connected with road accidents and what kind of behaviour causes them.They got inspired and popularized among their classmates and society different ways to behave safely on the road .
The ideas
Students got acquainted with materials, information and statistics about the disastrous road situation in Bulgaria, especially in the region of Plovdiv. Every day in the news, we are informed about road accidents with a lot of casualties and deaths. Usually young and inexperienced drivers cause the accidents. There is an obvious need for improvement.
