Italian Legislation: key elements Road education compulsory in all schools (Highway Code,
art.230)
Ministry of Education does not provide official manuals or books. Only guide lines for road education referents at different level of schools
Italian legislation consider road education as part of a wider framework, speaking of “civic education” as a sum of lessons learnt in various fields
Specific role of the school system: to organize courses for obtaining the AM driving license for moped (14-18 age).
What is Traffic Education?

ROAD EDUCATION
Road accidents represent a cultural problem and if we want to solve a cultural problem we need actions aimed to change people behaviors. It is not enough to act for a limited period of time, but we need a continuous education that have to start from children. So, the school system play a fundamental role. ACI’s target is to act on behaviours to change road people culture.
Road education means not only technical knowledges or driving abilities, but also a more general and wider education concerning the relationship that a person have with himself and with other people inside a society, included affective, social, civil , ethics issues of a person. The aim is to teach a person to respect himself, to respect the others and to respect things because this represent a great value for people to live together inside a society in a civil way. School system play an important role not so much for teaching technical role or behaviours, but for developing a civic and democratic conscience. Road education is aimed to help road users to became responsible and so to develop among people safe and responsible behaviours.
ACI approach
“Road education cannot be confined to teach mere technical facts or skills, instead, it must be aimed at a more refined form of education based on a balanced
relationship with oneself and the others, in a complex system of organized social life where a serious “safety
culture” holds a central position and where such important factors as knowledge of our own person, of
our hometown, of the roads in our neighborhood and the links existing between its inhabitants are perceived and
valued as assets belonging to everybody”
The role of the school system
to communicate to up-date to inform to train
to educate
share or exchange information, news, or ideas
give (someone) the latest information about something
give (someone) facts or information;
teach a particular skill or type of behaviour through practice and instruction over a period of time
give intellectual, moral, and social instruction to (someone, esp. a child), typically at a school

To Educate to live the city
Starting from the city (roads; planning; buildings; parks; ...) in order to transmit to the students the notion of road, town, traffic through the different subjects: history, geography, literature, maths, science, arts; motor education
Road education as an activity that can produce a change in personal behaviour over the time.....it takes time to do it
The approach: Transversality. We need to insert safe mobility in the most important school subjects during the ordinary lessons....only in this way we can educate (and not inform, teach, train,....)
....practically:
What we normally have to treat.....
Signs of warning, bans, prescriptions
Signs of direction
Right of way rules
Behavioural rules
Luminous and horizontal signs
stopping and halting signs, road definition
Causes of road accidents
Moped
Behaviour of moped and motorcicle riders
The value of rules
Respect for human life and civic behaviour
Environmental protection

Secondary School: years 3 and 4 out of 5
Students are asked to list road users. The list is copied onto the blackboard splitting the entries between those referred to vehicles and those referred to people. Usually, answers of the second type are prevalent (pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist)...Students are invited to think about how the road has lost its role as a place for socialization that it had in the past
Training Courses
Target: teachers - reference of traffic education.
2 days at local level; trainer: ACI + local experts
First day: how to realize an educational intervention? which aspect have we to consider? how to create an internal network (cooperation with the other teachers)? how to create an external network (expert from outside the schools)? how to get financial resources?
Second day: more in deep with traffic education matters and give examples of trasversality approach. Practical exercises and focus group among the participants
