Dear all,

 

It gives me great pleasure to be part of the 2010 European Forum for Road Safety. I am looking forward to attending the Forum and meeting young people from across the EU and beyond to make concrete change for better road safety in our respective nations. I would like to congratulate all stakeholders of road safety for the proclamation of the Decade of Action for Road Safety adopted by the United Nations General Assembly earlier this month.

 

I also congratulate all young people on the Declaration of The World Youth Year also adopted by the UN. I will be the UK delegate and will be representing my campaign, 'Tune into Traffic' which is has been running for nearly 2 years now.

 

Tune into Traffic is a campaign that focuses on road safety and young people and its aims are to:

• Bring attention to the road safety problem to young people

• Bring attention to the road safety problem to the media

• Engage young people in safer behaviour, attitudes and actions

• To put young people at the forefront of road safety in the campaign

• To use young people friendly media to convey messages of road safety

• To advocate young people's important role in road safety

• To be an active member of YOURS: Youth for Road Safety NGO (UK DELEGATE)

 

I would like to informally introduce you all to Tune into Traffic by directing you towards our website: http://www.tuneintotraffic.co.uk Our face book group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=33181780641&ref=ts and our affiliate site Youth for Road Safety: http://www.youthforroadsafety.org

 

 

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all in July!

 

Warm Regards,
