Renault Has Educated Over 92,000 Pupils In Road Safety

Some 92,000 primary school pupils from nine countries took part in the fifth round of Renault's international "Safety for all" competition. This year's theme – "Road safety, it's a family matter" – attracted nearly 4,750 entries. A total of 200 national finalists met at Disneyland Paris on June 10-12, 2005 for the closing ceremony of the competition.
Launched in 2000, Renault's international "Safety for All" programme has already helped educate over 7 million pupils. This year, 17 countries were involved. The programme for primary schools includes a full teaching kit dubbed "Kids on the Road", which is sent free-of-charge to teachers, and the international competition.

The fifth round of the competition involved 92,000 pupils in nine countries – France, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. This year, the competition theme was safety and the family. 4,750 entries in the form of posters were sent to Renault and some of the winning slogans were "Buckle up, observe the speed limit and protect your family!" and "Be extra careful behind the wheel!".

The international final will be held at Disneyland Paris from June 10-12, 2005 for the 200 national finalists from nine countries, plus teachers and local partners.

The "Express Yourself" operation for high school students is the other facet of the "Safety for All" programme. This year in France, 41,000 students aged 12-15 sent in 4,000 advertising posters about responsible behaviour on the road. "The road is not a video game – You have only one life" was the slogan of the winning poster produced by the Darnet high school in Saint-Yieux La Perche in central France.

All told, over 57,000 high school students from four countries – Austria, France, Spain and Switzerland – participated in the operation this year.
