Remembrance
A flash created by ASIRT that was launched at the First U.N. Global Road Safety Week at WHO headquarters in Geneva in April, 2007. This powerful presentation illustrates the universal and devastating impact of road crashes on families and society. In this moving collage of photographs of road crash victims, set to a haunting melody, we catch a glimpse of the “faces behind the figures” that represent the 1.2 million killed and over 50 million injured in road crashes every year. Remembrance can be used as an advocacy tool, as well as a memorial.
Road Safety Seminars
ASIRT provides road safety training seminars to study abroad program administrators, Risk Managers, Corporations, tourist offices and organizations. Workshops are tailored to the specific needs of the participants and incorporate strategies and resources that enable individuals and groups to make safe, informed decisions when planning trips and while traveling or living abroad. Materials include ASIRT’s Road Travel Reports and other publications listed above. Contact ASIRT at asirt@asirt.org for more information or to sign up for a seminar.
Resources for Parents and Educators of Young Children
It is crucial that people learn about appropriate road safety behavior at a young age, so that the ability to make safe travel choices becomes ingrained within them. Road safety is not always intuitive and children need to be taught safe practices. Many road safety interventions involve school programs designed to educate young children about the issue. It is important to remember, though, that education begins at home. ASIRT has developed materials to help parents and educators of young children teach age-appropriate road safety behavior.
