Starting this month we are excited to announce we will be offering monthly live sessions across the world to discuss the latest knowledge on road safety tools, programmes and partnerships helping make global roads safer.
For a our first session – we will be focussing on the recently released Youth Engagement App (YEA).
The YEA offers young people an efficient way to identify and report high-risk road conditions, providing them with a platform for their voices to be heard. Through the app, government officials will receive data as actionable recommendations to make effective and evidence-based road safety interventions. This will make it easier to identify blackspots for more in-depth analysis to determine the star ratings for school zones.
The YEA is the result of a three-year programme IA&Moi : Donner aux jeunes les moyens de rouler en toute sécurité launched by the non-profit Fondation AIP en 2021, soutenu par Fondation Botnar – une fondation qui promeut l'utilisation de l'IA et des technologies numériques pour améliorer le bien-être des jeunes en milieu urbain – cofinancée par Fondation FIA, et mis en œuvre en partenariat avec Et si et iRAP. The YEA is aimed at incorporating students’ risk perception to infrastructure assessments conducted with SR4S. For more information on the SR4S, cliquez ici.
In this live session we will discuss:
- how the free app works;
- how it’s capturing student road safety experiences to inform safer journeys;
- its implementation in projects and preliminary results – over 19,000 pins dropped so far giving youth a voice to inform decision-makers.
Les intervenants comprendront :
- Rafaela Machado (Star Rating for Schools Global Programme Coordinator – iRAP)
- Shanna Lucchesi (Project Coordinator – iRAP)
- Trang Truong (Senior Programme Manager (Vietnam) – AIP Foundation)
Date : Tuesday 18 April 2023
Heure : 8.00 AM – 9.00 AM (Eastern time)/ 2.00 PM – 3.00 PM (CEST)
