If you are around Brussels, Belgium on the 12th November 2013, or if you want to attend this special youth panel debate, an open invitation is presented to you here! The debate is focused on youth and road safety issues in a European context and will include our own Axl Druart (CORE Group Europe representative) and YOURS Director Floor Lieshout.
Our Future Mobility Now (OFMN) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) are holding a debate between young people, the automotive industry, motor clubs and policy makers to examine three key topics:
- Attitudes and awareness: How to connect with young people?
- Driving skills and experience: How to make an impact?
- Automation and apps: How can technology help?
A similar debate on youth and urban mobility was explored last year and the videos are available to view in the right column.
