Detailed description (English): The M-30 tunnels are Europe's longest urban tunnels and, at the same time, little is known about them in terms of road safety. Raising children's awareness about road safety should be of the utmost importance, especially when it comes to an incredible piece of engineering such as this, which has led to a reduction in C02 levels in Madrid as well as the creation of a new green lung in the capital: Madrid Río.
That's why we came up with Trenty, our Road Safety Manager in the M-30 tunnels. An entertaining character who teaches students values with a view to preventing risks, safety attitudes, respect for others and the environment. What's more, as an expert in tunnels, it teaches them how to drive through them.
We visit schools within the Community of Madrid to impart this knowledge to pupils so that they go on to become responsible drivers in the future.
The methodology is practical and calls on different types of materials (printed, audiovisual, etc....)
Our project is aimed at children from 7 to 10 years old who learn through play. Playing sparks curiosity and the capacity to be filled with wonder, which are fundamental when it comes to learning.
In this context, and with the help of Trenty, we organised a treasure hunt around Madrid Rio as part of European Mobility Week. A family activity whose objective was to raise awareness among children and their families with regard to the importance of sport, health and sustainable mobility in a green and safe environment.
Detailed description (original language): Los túneles de la M30 son los túneles urbanos más largos de Europa, y a la vez, son los más desconocidos en cuanto a seguridad vial nos referimos. Educar sobre seguridad vial debería ser un tema fundamental en la vida de los niños, y más, cuando hablamos de una obra de ingeniería tan especial como esta, que ha conseguido reducir los niveles de C02 de la ciudad de Madrid y ha propiciado la creación de un nuevo pulmón verde en la capital: Madrid Río.
Para ello creamos a Trenty, nuestra encargada en Seguridad vial dentro de los túneles de la M30. Un divertido personaje que enseña a los alumnos valores para prevenir los riesgos, actitudes de seguridad, respeto por los demás y por el medio ambiente, y, como experta en túneles, les enseña cómo circular por ellos.
Visitamos colegios dentro de la Comunidad de Madrid para inculcar estos conocimientos a los más pequeños y conseguir en un futuro conductores responsables.
La metodología es esencialmente práctica, apoyándonos en diversos tipos de materiales (impreso, manipulativo, audiovisual...)
Nuestro proyecto está adaptado para niños de 7 a 10 años que aprenden a través del juego. El juego pone en marcha la curiosidad y la capacidad de asombro, fundamentales para adquirir aprendizajes significativos.
En este marco y de la mano de Trenty, realizamos una gincana por los alrededores de Madrid Río dentro de la Semana Europea de la Movilidad. Una actividad familiar cuyo objetivo era concienciar a los más pequeños y sus familias sobre la importancia del deporte, la salud y la movilidad sostenible en un entorno verde y seguro.
Target group(s): Education
Children
Road Safety
Objectives: Our key objectives are:
- To get students involved in safety and mobility and to give them the chance to express their doubts in an active environment where students and teachers interact.
- To teach children the importance of being aware of and applying good practices in road safety and sustainable mobility in our day-to-day life so that, in the future, they become responsible adults who adopt habits and attitudes that decrease the number of accidents and pollution levels in our community alike.
- To prevent accidents and undesirable situations as well as to help children learn to live better in society.
- To foster and guarantee respect and preservation of one's own life and those of others on public roads and to raise awareness of the rules and driving conduct in the M-30 tunnels.
