Road safety workshop for children under 6

Even the youngest children are part of road traffic: they cross the road with their parents, use public transport, and learn to ride a bike. That’s why it is best not to postpone their road safety education until they grow up and teach them about the street, traffic, and how to behave in the city in the first years of their life.

In this workshop children will learn to

– Understand traffic lights
– Use crossings and find their way at crossroads
– Safely ride a bike
