So its back to work for most of us around the world which means continued efforts for road safety. We would like to wish you a very Happy New Year and hope that is it prosperous, constructive and as groundbreaking as 2012 has been. The flame of road safety action for young people continues to burn around the world and we continue our service to the cause in the year to come!
Goodbye 2012 and hello 2013! A New Year gives us the chance to be bigger, better, more resourceful and accomplish more than the previous and that is exactly the plan here at YOURS.
We are delighted to have you on board and we thank you for your unwavering support over the last year! Can you believe that 2013 marks the fourth year of our operations? Since we launched in late 2009, YOURS has continued to expand its network and activities and now has members in over 70 countries!
This year, we continue to expand our activities and will be inviting you; the youth of the world to take part in TWO global campaigns; calling for protection for pedestrians on the roads around the world: ‘The Long Short Walk’ and a special youth criteria submission to the ‘Global Road Safety Film Festival’. Its an exciting time to be part of the Global Youth Network for Road Safety as this year we open more opportunities, activities and actions for you to take part in. If you are yet to join our thriving online youth network then click here and see if you are eligble to join.
Coming shortly this month are videos from the Caravane Project and videos capturing our first full programme of the Training of Facilitators that took place in Nairobi, Kenya late last year.
As we look back at 2012, in customary fashion, we have created a ‘Year in Pictures’ pulling together some of the moments captured on camera in last year’s journey. We feel the gallery depicts diversity, the energy of youth and the growing work of YOURS! We look forward to working with you all in 2013.
