- BOOK OF TESTIMONIALS “STORIES TO BE TOLD.VOICES TO BE HEARD”.
In the year in which our organization celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, our federation of road traffic victims wants to give life to the book of testimonies so that those who read it fully understand the seriousness of the consequences of road crime and commit themselves to road safety. We considered significant to publish it on the World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims, so that memory becomes a proposal for social improvement.
The Book contains among others the messages of Mr. Jean Todt, United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety, Mr. Etienne Krug, Director of the Department of Social Determinants of Health of the World Health Organization, Mr. Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director of the European Transport Safety Council. The Book will be officially launch in November. It will be published in two versions: electronical and paper version.
- OFFICIAL MOVIE- BOOK ANIMATION.
An official animation movie will be released on second week of November. The movie is an animation that contains fragments of the Book of Testimonials, logos of our partners, fragments of speeches of our Partners. It will be released on November and used as invitation to worldwide celebrations and promotion of World Day of Remembrance.
