2 Description: Together with the students we joined this international initiative in order to implement the educational programme YOUR ideas, YOUR initiatives -Road Safety and Mobility Project for All in Scoala Gimnaziala Constantin Gh. Marinescu Galaţi. The world we live in exposes the children to lots of dangers. One of the purposes of modern education is to prepare them to successfully face different crisis situations that might appear. In this project we wish to make known the traffic rules on public roads and form a preventive behaviour to the children. The contents of the project focuses on the student s quality of traffic/pedestrian partner. During the allocated classes, the students discover the traffic rules, new conducts and solutions to real situations through games, discussions and observations. At the same time they refresh and update their knowledge, skills and abilities already acquired. Argument: The local project implemented at my class comes as a consequence of: Observation of the children s behaviour in the pedestrian traffic and on the playgrounds Talks with the students which prove that they do not always choose their playgrounds correctly and safely Realization of the necessity to introduce the theme of the road safety in the school and family life in order to encourage the children s responsible attitude as participants in the traffic

They design a map of the community, mark roads and empty land on which constructions may later appear. Each student receives tokens representing houses, shops, schools, churches, administrative buildings etc. After cutting out the tokens they consider necessary, the students decide the place for the buildings, the way to use the land, the names of the streets and other aspects related to the community. The individual works are then assembled on a stand (white board), thus obtaining a larger community, a town/city. Our town as we imagine it will be in the future.
