We are losing our next generation at an alarming rate.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29. Youth engagement is critical to improving global road safety. To empower our young generation, the first step is to listen to their concerns and ideas. The Heads Up! project, implemented by AIP Foundation and AA Vietnam, with support from The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Road Safety Grant Programme, FIA Region II and FIA Foundation puts the voice of young people at the heart of improving road safety.
Empowering youth across South-East Asia: Launch of the Heads Up! Website
As part of the newly launched Heads Up! website, university students from 4 ASEAN countries (Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) will be able to participate in a regional video (public service announcement) competition on helmet safety. The Heads Up! website outlines the details regarding the competition such as topics, terms and conditions, how to submit your video, as well as the benefits of being part of a regional awareness-raising initiative on helmet safety. Moreover, it provides easy access to informative and reliable resources on helmet safety and road safety as a whole.
Young voices first: The Heads Up! Regional Helmet Safety Video Competition launch
This is the first dedicated website under a regional initiative where youth across ASEAN countries and beyond can learn, exchange and share about helmet safety. The website invites university students to take center stage by participating in a regional video competition to design effective communication campaigns, raising awareness for their peers and general road users of the life-saving importance of helmet safety.
