Street Smart 7, a safety cam- paign aimed at young children, will show a series of interac- tive videos in school lessons demonstrating road safety in an educational and entertain- ing way, across all primary schools. "Children are more likely to challenge how we do cer- tain things, so this is a fan- tastic opportunity to mix fun and education to achieve this much-needed change," said Konrad Pulé, General Manager at Malta Public Transport. The initiative is being pro- moted by Fundación MAPFRE, in collaboration with Malta Public Transport, the Ministry for Education, and the Malta Road Safety Council. "Fundación MAPFRE em- barked on this awareness campaign in Malta in 2013 to promote road safety measures amongst children and young adults, and it has been a great success amongst students in schools all over the island. We are now very excited to launch the 7th edition of this project," said Javier R. Moreno Gonza- les, CEO at MAPFRE Middle- sea. The campaign will be car- ried out over a period of three years, with this year's interac- tive videos focusing on safety issues while being a passen- ger in a private vehicle, while walking, and while travelling by bus. The videos are aimed at children aged between 5 and 9. However, they can also be en- joyed by younger or older chil- dren. Children will be asked to choose between two different scenarios as we see Mr Safe and his family go through different familiar experiences. With the popular comedy duo Danusan in the principal roles, it will raise awareness among the younger generation about safe- ty on our roads and encourage them to be safety ambassadors when they notice something is wrong. "Children and students are our genuine change agents and are definitely in favour of a just and better world," education ministry permanent secretary Dr Francis Fabri. "Through this awareness campaign, children shall en- gage in informed and interac- tive activities whilst enjoying and uplifting their learning experience. The contribution from Fundación MAPFRE for the past nine years and the next three years will indeed support Transport Malta and Malta Public Transport in their educational mission and sus- tain the educational journey of school children whilst becom- ing active and responsible cit- izens." Malta Road Safety Council, Executive Chairperson Pierre Vella stated: "Notwithstanding the pandemic, it was the deter- mination of everyone involved with Fundación MAPFRE that kept this initiative moving for- ward. The concept is quite in- novative, and the scripts and filming were all created and staged locally, giving the con- cept a local touch."
