The students from the middle school were involved in an essay-writing contest. The theme of the essay was "Road safety". This competition was the result of our school's collaboration with The Romanian Association for Promoting Road Safety and Education. The winners of the competition received books and the possibility of sitting a Cambridge English exam. The certificates received by the winners can be seen in the attachment.
The students from the primary school were involved in an activity which was developped in collaboration with The Local Police Department. The students were shown traffic signs for pedestrians and they had a conversation with two pollice officers on how to walk safely to school and what behaviour one should have when using the public transport. Afterwards, the police officers showed them the police car and what functions it has. They also played games like "The littel police officer", "I know how to protect myself" and "Perfect safety".
Romania is one of the European countries with the highest mortality rate in road accidents (91 dead to 1 million people in 2014), according to data provided by local authorities.
Our activity aims to bring into the market a revolutionary product, easy to use and maintain, which enhance driving safety in the case of health conditions that are manifested by losing consciousness during driving, regardless of age and that may endanger his and other driver’s lives. We aims to satisfy the current needs of people, identified through a market research, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of death in the world and accidents caused by drivers with such disorders very serious.
The campaign aims to inform and responsible attitude in road traffic awareness by drivers and risk reduction of traffic accidents under tiredness. During the three campaigns were divided over 20,000 promotional traffic participants in Bistrita, Constanta and Bucharest.Insufficient rest is the main cause of fatigue. After four hours of driving observed a 75% reduction in the reaction time of the driver, according to a study of drivers exposed to "driving and fatigue".

The purpose of these activities was to inform students about safety on public roads.Students have learned traffic rules, made drawings, role plays, watched thematic movies. Primary school pupils have been doing outdoor activities by being accompanied by teachers and following the rules of movement.
