Road safety exhibition brings students together in Mazarron

Throughout the month of May, the Costa Calida municipality of Mazarron will host the Exhibition of the XXIX Road Safety Education Conference at its Cultural Centre. The conference will unite more than 1,000 schoolchildren from all of Mazarron’s educational centres, to participate in exhibitions of models, collages, and school projects, all related to road safety education.

A fundamental project to unite more than 1,000 students from Mazarron

Officially beginning on May 13 and lasting until May 31, the exhibition will feature 56 projects from preschool students, 90 collages made by first and second year students, and 88 models from students in the fifth and sixth years. Meanwhile, the projects made by the students from the third and fourth years were featured at the Road Safety Education Festival, held in April.

Detailed dioramas made by the students feature roads, small cars, and buildings

Namely, the exhibition features dioramas made by the students to represent city and town roads, including details like painted lines on the roads, different signs, stationed traffic officers overseeing the transport, and structured roundabouts. Surrounding these, the students have created models of homes, hotels, shops, trees, plants, and of course, little cars and buses to traverse the roads of their small towns and cities.

Where to see the students’ exhibitions

This exhibition will be open to the public at Mazarron’s Casa de La Cultura, or Cultural Centre, located at Calle Entierro de la Sardina, 65. It will be free to enter and is available for viewing during the regular opening hours of the building.

This programme forms an essential part of the educational curriculum of the young students of Mazarron. Working on these exhibitions not only educates the students about road safety; it also lets children get creative with their projects and teaches them important values including teamwork, coexistence, and listening to others’ ideas. It is just one of the ways that Mazarron gets creative with its students in order to teach them important life and social skills.
