As part of the initiative to increase road safety, the EKO Mendje organization organized an exhibition with photographs, statistics and educational messages on one of the busiest streets of the city of Shkodra. The activity was also accompanied by artistic performances on the street with the participation of circus actors, to attract the attention of the public in a positive and interactive way. Practical demonstrations of crossing according to road signs were also held and awareness-raising brochures for pedestrians and drivers were distributed.
Students from several educational institutions in the city, such as the “28 Nëntori” high school, the “Oso Kuka” high school, the “Deshmoret e Prishtines” school, the “Borë Bardha” kindergarten, as well as volunteers and coordinators of EKO Mendje and youth from the community, participated in these activities.
The activities were carried out in cooperation with the Traffic Police and the Municipal Police of the city of Shkodra, which provided support and security during the implementation on the ground. These activities, in addition to coverage on social networks, were also broadcasted by local media, spreading at a wider range the message of caution and respect for traffic rules and presenting the project made possible by the SCPA Program.
