Forty students from the secondary school received yellow reflective vests as part of a security operation, handed over by Florence and Daniel, departmental councilors, and Dillon Kelly, a schoolboy and a young departmental councilor (elected from the departmental council of young people from the Tarn). On these vests is printed “Day and night, I save lives” which is made of reflective heat transfer vinyl. This is the interest of this operation which benefited nearly 2,000 schoolboys. These vests can be used on multiple occasions: on foot, by bike, moped, by taking the bus (school transport or regular lines), etc. They are offered on request to college students who have validated their registration on the ENT or the site of the department. “There are 42 colleges in the Tarn, says Florence, and about 5,000 college students. For the moment, just under 2,000 students have taken the step and receive their vests. But this operation may be able to be renewed. ”

Winter. Based on this observation, the Departmental Youth Council (CDJ), in partnership with the Departmental Committee for organizing committee of the International Federal Week, decided to alert the students to the need to wear a reflective clothing. Retro reflective safety device to be visible in all circumstances, day and night.

 

Since its creation in 1992, the CDJ has launched several projects to help improve road safety: poster campaign behind coaches on safety around bus stops, awareness film on the dangers of driving intoxicated, promoting safe means of travel, etc. At the secondary school, as part of the “Artistic Practices” workshop, schoolchildren produced a clip on the theme of safety that is being edited.
