Project Schedule
The programme started in March 2008 and will last until March 2010. Its milestones are:
-The "ShLOW!" Lectures: From September 2008 to February 2009 members of the ShlOW! Consortium will deliver 5 university lectures in each country to recruit and motivate students to participate in the project.
-The "ShLOW!" Camp: In spring 2009 50 selected students from across the 10 participating countries will be invited to attend a one week training course on Speed Management in Brussels: the "ShLOW!" Camp. During that week the students will be given lectures by key road safety experts and professionals, but they will also be involved in group exercises and go on a number of field trips dedicated to road safety.
-The "ShLOW!" Challenge: For the remainder of 2009 and until spring 2010 these students will then conduct one speed management action each in their home country, applying ideas and knowledge they have gathered during their training in Brussels.
-The "ShLOW!" Ceremony: the most successful students will then be given an award at a final Ceremony in Brussels in spring 2010. There will be one student awarded per country and one overall "winner': the student judged to have achieved the best results in implementing a speed management action by an independent Jury of road safety experts set up for this occasion.
The ShlOW! Ceremony will at the same time be an international conference on Speed Management attended by road safety experts.
