The National Road Safety Authority launched this morning the “Youth in Motion” project – a new educational and informational initiative, which constitutes a collaboration between the Education Department, which leads the Road Safety Authority’s youth movement program, and the Information Department.
As part of the project, short videos were produced featuring young men and women from the main youth movements in Israel: The Scouts, Bnei Akiva, Maccabi Tza’ir, HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, the Agricultural Union, and Machanot HaOlim. The videos bring to the forefront the perspective of the youth themselves, reflecting an open and honest dialogue around key dilemmas in the world of road safety.
In round table discussions, the youth discussed issues such as mobile phone use while driving, alcohol and driving, speed, and taking personal and social responsibility. The dialogue allows a glimpse into how youth perceive risks, cope with social pressures, and define their place as those at the beginning of a significant journey in the world of driving.
The choice to collaborate with youth movements stems from the recognition of their central role in educating for values, responsibility, and social involvement. The Road Safety Authority emphasizes that the youth participating in the project seek to influence, make their voices heard, and be an active part of changing the driving culture in Israel – as part of the national effort to save lives on the roads.
