Name of action 

We are currently implementing practical lessons at special “artificial cities” (scaled cities) with streets, signs and traffic lights. This new method is proving to be very effective as children are put into real situations without any threat as the streets are not real.National Road safety education contest in different cities throughout the country. Every stage of the contest is supported by our partners mentioned above.
