Road safety for children: Helmi visits elementary school Liefering

Yesterday the students had a special visit: Security expert Helmi came in to talk to them about the correct behavior in road traffic. The focus was on practical tips on how to move safely in road traffic. How to buckle up properly and cross the road safely was conveyed in an entertaining and educational manner.

Helmi used games and interactive methods to inspire the children and to arouse their interest in traffic safety. Topics such as visibility in road traffic and the wearing of helmets were also discussed. These approaches are crucial because they help to raise awareness of possible dangers.

The importance of such traffic safety actions is underpinned by alarming accident statistics. In 2023, over 2,800 children were injured across Austria and seven of them tragically lost their lives. These statistics remind us of how necessary it is to educate children about security measures and show them how they can protect themselves in road traffic.

The Initiative reaffirms the philosophy of the Board of Trustees for Road Safety, which aims to sensitize the little ones in our society to security and caution. Through direct contact with the children and speech by a charming figure like Helmi, who has a special influence on the young listeners due to his awareness, the topic of traffic safety is presented in a positive light.

The commitment of experts like Helmi is of central importance. With his visits to schools, he actively contributes to promoting security awareness in the next generation. Further information on the details of this important initiative can be found in the article by www.salzburg24.at .
