“Eyes open on the Road”: the e-Learning Edition
Approval by the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs
Target group: last classes of Middle School and all of High School (14 – 18 years old)
Duration: approximately 1 hour
The e-Learning version of the “Eyes open on the Road” program is based on the successful live-action interactive seminar presented by Thanassis Houndras. This adjustment was made in order to be able to teach, with greater ease and at a lower cost, pupils and educators across the country – but mainly those residing in isolated islands and villages – the importance of road safety.
It is should be noted that the live-action seminar won the “Excellence in Road Safety Award” in 2015 from the European Commission in Brussels.
To date, more than 15,000 students have been educated via the particular programme.
