LEARN! Manual for Developing and Evaluating Traffic Safety and Mobility Education Activities

The LEARN! Manual is handbook for developing and evaluating activities and programmes for traffic safety and mobility education. It sets out recommendations, criteria and guidance to develop and implement sound educational activities in an accessible way.

The report is envisaged as a starting point for those who design, test, implement and evaluate educational activities on traffic safety and mobility, and are embarking upon the creation of new, or updating existing, activities.

The new resource should also be useful to ministries, authorities, schools and organisations when deciding on which activities and projects to buy or fund.  The guidelines reflect a list of minimum criteria that should be included or considered, in order to ensure high quality standards are maintained.

The LEARN! Manual’s eight-step model is set out below.

The publication also includes 27 case studies from across Europe that illustrate how the steps can be applied in practice.

The handbook is published as part of the LEARN! (Leveraging Education to Advance Road safety Now) project, by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), the Flemish Foundation for Traffic Knowledge (VSV) and Fundación MAPFRE, and aims to improve the quality of traffic safety and mobility education across Europe.
