The primary goal of the training was to improve the knowledge and skills of youth workers in order to carry out preventive activities in the field of traffic safety. The training was intended for young people and youth workers. During the training, participants were presented with information about the state of traffic sfety in the countries that participated in the training, the best global campaigns on the subject of traffic safety, and participants had the opportunity to learn procedures for creating campaigns. They worked in groups to develop a traffic safety campaign, which was later presented. Lectures from the Traffic Safety Agency of the Republic of Serbia presented participants with the state of traffic safety in Serbia, as well as the vulnerability of young participants in traffic. Participants also learned about the United Nations strategic framework from a representative of UNECE.
