In 2014, 18 students from Gymnázium Sobrance embarked on a journey to enhance road safety awareness. Initiated by a Russian language lesson idea, our project aimed to educate younger students about safe road behaviors. We created a video and conducted surveys to gauge local opinions on traffic issues. Through engaging activities, including creating road signs and hands-on workshops, we shared practical knowledge on road safety. This project highlights the importance of youth involvement in community safety initiatives and nurtures a culture of awareness and cooperation among students.
