The Department of Citizen Security, headed by Mónica Pastor, has promoted this initiative inviting educational centers to participate. Officers will visit the schools that request the activity, to which an official invitation has already been sent.
The councilwoman highlighted the importance of using children's daily commutes to learn how to cross safely, recognize traffic signs, and respect other road users. Pastor emphasized that "road safety education begins long before getting behind the wheel" and that today's learning will help them gain independence and become responsible drivers.
Through these sessions, the Local Police aims to impart knowledge in an enjoyable and didactic manner, encouraging schoolchildren to apply the rules in their daily lives and pass them on to their families. The ultimate goal is to promote safe, responsible, and sustainable mobility, including walking or cycling, caring for the environment, and respecting all street users.
Therefore, the Local Police encourages schools in Orihuela to join these workshops to work together on the safety, confidence, and respect of children as they move around the city.
