\n\u201cThis year, a special prize was dedicated to Jacques Barrot, former Transport Commissioner and ardent supporter of road safety, who handed over the very first European Road Safety Award exactly ten years ago. The winner was selected by the audience present at the ceremony from among the five winners. It is: Lockerbie Academy (UK)<\/strong>.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Violeta Bulc<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n\n

\n

\n\u201cI am very impressed with the commitment and creativity that this year\u2019s winners have demonstrated. Grassroots initiatives like these are crucial in our efforts to reach our strategic goal to halve road fatalities by 2020. I can only encourage everyone, at whatever level you work, to carry on the great work and to pass on your experiences, so that great ideas can be used again elsewhere.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\nRecent road safety statistics confirmed that European roads remain the safest in the world, although progress in reducing fatalities has slowed. \nAround 26,000 people still lost their lives on EU roads in one year alone \u2013 a reminder of why this work matters so much.\n<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfeb Lockerbie Academy (United Kingdom)<\/h3>\n\n

\nLockerbie Academy integrated road safety into its educational programme, particularly through Physics topics such as speed, velocity, distance and braking. \nWorking alongside Police Scotland, students simulated road crashes, surveyed staff and parents about driving in poor conditions, and created plans to assist drivers in different traffic situations.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nThe initiative was recognised for its innovation, impact and ability to be shared easily with other schools. It encouraged safer behaviour and built strong connections between generations in the community.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

\nIn other posts you\u2019ll find full details of each project. Over time, this will be tidied into a more concise collection of resources. \nSo many people helped make this work possible \u2013 and if you were one of them, please know that this prize belongs to you too. \ud83d\udc99\n<\/p>\n\n

All resources will eventually be uploaded for you to use and share.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
