Be Visible! Save Your Life is a project of Economic and Social Development Centre “Merkurii”, an NGO, supported by the Teple Misto Small Grants.
Grant received: UAH 20,000
Thematic area of the project: stable mobility.
Project goal: prevention of road traffic injuries and accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists.
Within the framework of the project a series of lectures for students and trainings with the participation of patrol officers were held. The project team, patrol officers, organising committee of the international X Veloforum and active cyclists of the city organised the evening run in Ivano-Frankivsk.
The participants wanted to draw attention to the importance of using light-reflective elements and tapes when cycling in the evening or night time.
Within the framework of the project, each participant received a light-reflective bracelet as a reminder of information given and importance of the traffic rules.
