Traffic Education Training
For more than twenty years our trainers have been going to primary and secondary schools to carry out traffic education courses. We carry out several courses (theoretical and practical), we issue certificates of participation (based on collaborations, including with associations, the Province of Milan, the Lombardy Region or other partners).
Our courses are tailor-made, based on the client's requests. We can plan training sessions from a half-day, from a day, to more complex modules, in repeated sessions. Our teaching staff will be happy to listen to you and suggest the best solution based on your requests.
In primary school, the most requested format is a couple of hours. Children learn the principles of road safety by playing: they draw, invent road signs, develop interesting theories about the scenario around and how they imagine mobility in the future. With videos, simulations and educational activities they learn how to behave correctly on pavements and how to recognize some dangerous situations. At the end of the course they are issued a "pedestrian licence", a handbook containing the basic rules for crossing the road safely.
In lower secondary schools, the most requested traffic education course is the "Road Safety Film Festival". A couple of hours of lessons aimed at the hazard perception and general rules of behavior, with a brief mention on the right use of bicycles, e-scooters and mopeds.
At the end of the training session the class will be divided into several groups which will produce short videos related to good/bad habits on road safety, during extra-curricular time (or in collaboration with technology, art, etc. teachers). The idea is to let children express their point of view on road safety, through the tools they are familiar with and their own artistic skills (learning by doing). After an agreed time for the production of the audiovisual material, a special jury made up of professors and our teaching staff decides on the most deserving video.
The prizes available can be of different. In the past we have also involved a driving schools association which financed the remake of the selected video and produced and disseminated it at its own expense. The best option for the school is to make its own funds available, so as to have its own road safety poster, to be shown through its social channels, web, etc..
In upper secondary school, the courses offered are aimed at teenager, more aware of the risks associated with road traffic, often already with experience of independent light mobility on 2, 3 or 4 wheels.
The most requested format is a short theoretical course lasting a couple of hours on the hazard perceptions, the most frequent types of accidents and the consequences of improvised choices, as well as dangerous behaviours. Driving means making decisions. Students will be invited to evaluate the range of possibilities offered to them and will be directed towards the best choices to make, in specific situations. The course is aimed at empowering participants, who will soon face more complex mobility.
We have created an application on hazard perception which, through videos and questions, helps participants to: - discover your own reactivity; - evaluate one's ability to recognize dangerous situations; - understand the consequences of the choices to be made; - put correct behaviors into practice.
Participants will also be able to carry out practical exercises through specific motor coordination exercises, wearing special glasses that simulate visual perception altered following the intake of alcohol or drugs, both in the classroom and in the car.
