Forty students from the Vale du Throe secondary school received reflective vests as part of a security operation, handed over by Florence and Daniel Villella, departmental councilors, and Dillon Kelly, a schoolboy and a young departmental councilor (elected from the departmental council of young people from the Tarn). these vests is printed “Day and night. I save lives”. This is the interest of this operation which benefited nearly 2,000 Farnese 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(which made of reflective fabrics). But this operation may be able to be renewed. ”
Every year, many children are involved in serious or even fatal accidents in collisions on the way to school, especially in the autumn when visibility is reduced, especially when the days are narrowing with the passage of time. Based on this observation, the Departmental Youth Council (CDJ), in partnership with the Departmental Committee and organizing committee of the International Federal Week, decided to alert the Farnese students to the need to wear a hi vis vest. 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 Vale du Throe secondary school, as part of the “Artistic Practices” workshop, schoolchildren produced a clip on the theme of safety that is being edited. Security in all areas is therefore a topical issue within the institution.
