Our Educational Programs are created around the concept of comprehensive education. We believe, the individual is a unique person in constant progress, with their own set of cognitive, affective and social abilities. The most important components of our programs are:
1. Training the trainers: training courses for educational professionals in coordination with universities.
2. Activities in schools and other areas: educational activities and workshops in primary schools, universities and education centers.
3. Adapting materials and resources: making them relevant to the country in which the Educational Program is implemented and ensuring they can be better understood by teachers and families. Fundación MAPFRE has produced around 12 million print copies of road safety and accident prevention stories, activity books and teachers' guides. Materials can be downloaded free of charge in this link
4. Supporting teachers: our programs support teachers and allows them to adapt and innovate to make sure parents and children are fully engaged.
Road Safety Caravan: for kids from 8 to 12. They are given a theoretical training on the circulation, the different roles involved in it, how they should behave safely in each of them, and a practical training in which they actively participate of circulation in a circuit designed for this purpose.
It is developed in Spain, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Mexico and Brazil. This activity goes around the country during the whole year.
Educational workshops on road safety in schools: Divided by the different educational stages to provide children with preventive action resources so that they can identify the risks that surround them and, in those cases where they cannot avoid it, they know how to react.
We develop those workshops along the year in countries like Spain, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Philipines, Turkey, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Malta, etc.
Prevention workshops: for society in general but especially to children and the elderly. They are developed in collaboration with associations and official fire departments in different moments of the year. For example, we are developing a collaboration with the Boston Children's Hospital for which we have a van that goes to different places rising awareness and teaching people on how to prevent injuries and accidents in their daily life.
We develop those activities in countries like USA, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.
Educational resources and materials such as children's literature, teaching guides, educational activities, apps, games and other resources for the kids.
