UN Second Road Safety Week and Walk in Batumi
In the framework of the UN
Second Road Safety Week, on the 10th of May, the Long Short Walk was
organized in Batumi, Adjara. The walk was implemented with the initiative of
the foundation "Partnership for Road Safety". The walk started from the Ilia
Chavchavadze Theatre to the 6 May Park through Rustaveli Avenue.
In 2013, the Road Safety Week
is dedicated to the pedestrians’ rights. The goal of the campaign is "Safe
Roads for All". The walk in Batumi was managed with the help of the Civil Club "Balavari" of the 2nd Public School. Schoolchildren, students,
representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations, media and interested
citizens were involved in the walk. The participants wear the special T-shirts,
and the information flyers and accessories were disseminated.
Within the UN Second Global Week, the walk is organized
in the different cities of the world during 6-12 May. Georgia also joined the
global campaign. In addition, on 29th of April the walk was
implemented in Telavi, too.
