School stories

One critical problem in Instituto Tepeyac - Campus Guadalajara is the car jams during the periods of pickups of the students. To approach this problem we are creating an App, “Stop Jamming” that would make pickups to occur quickly and this way the traffic congestion and flow could be improved.

24 junior high school students became aware of the poor use of the bike lanes in their community and decided to do something about it.

Adopt-a-Kilometer aims to create a safe and clean space for students and our general community to be able to walk and drive safely through the bypass.

We set out to raise awareness of the circular economy. Since our audience was young children we hoped to reach our goal by doing a puppet show with recycled materials, depicting the problem of excessive waste from electrical appliances.

Our social awareness campaign slogan, "Ya bájale" (Cut it out, Stop and Relax), has the objective of generating the understanding that road rage as a reaction to traffic problems in our city is not a solution.

A major problem is pollution from cars, as most vehicles use fossil fuels. We wanted to raise awareness and designed a car to solve this problem.

We analyzed two different problems with regards to mobility and traffic in our community: one, traffic outside the school; and two, getting around by bicycle.

We, the high school students of Instituto Tepeyac, created “Rolling Together” to search for a way to reduce the carbon footprint of our community, using a carpool reward system that involved the participation of students, teachers, and parents.

The relevance of the project, is based on a problem of common interest and as often happens with road safety issues: "all care, but unfortunately there are no solutions".
We assume a proactive attitude we put into action.

After a car accident involving a student of our school, we decide to participate in this project to make drivers more conscious of the risks. This is a huge problem in our community, and there have been a lot fatal accidents close to our school.

We created a campaign called "A Path to the Future" in order to promote the use of bicycles as a primary means of transportation and to provide a partial response to the current need to care for the environment.

We are high school students. Our team is called "Team L.U.X." which stands for Learn, Understand and Xemplify. Together we worked on various activities in our community and school based on 'Road Safety' and 'Responsible Driving Conduct'.

Our main idea was to show how important it is to have education and knowledge about safety, and to know and update signals in our city. We created a PowerPoint presentation to share this information.

Through campaigns done at our school, we were able to show students the road and mobility problems that we have. Since then, we have been analyzing the possibility of having school transportation and we are now aware of road safety.

The Provbici proyect is a way to understand and change our reality. It gathers a young community together to use bicycles and to go safely to school. It cares for the environment, reducing pollution and creating a healthy-lifestyle culture.

Our city has grown rapidly in the last ten years; this growth has brought benefits and facilities for everyone, but also a lot of traffic problems. The transportation system has become a problem because stations have added to the traffic.

Today’s society depends too much on technology to get through daily activities; we don’t even realize that we could be putting our lives in danger. Our project dealt with the modern hazard of cell phone use while driving.

This project focused on creating awareness about the dangers of using your phone while driving. We delivered the message by creating a wordless comic strip that could be understood by everyone, regardless of the language they spoke.

Nowadays society is looking for healthier, eco-friendly forms of transport. We found bicycles to be the best form of transport for our community. So we proposed to improve and create new routes for cyclist to feel safe and respected.

Our aims were to report, educate and make people aware of the different problems of mobility in our city. We consider awareness as a solution. That is why we used literary and cinematic works as a means of artistic expression with a social end.
