New Advocacy and Campaigns Toolkit

YOURS – Youth for Road Safety developed this tool to support members of the Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety and young changemakers worldwide to advocate for safer and more sustainable mobility systems towards the 4th Ministerial on Road Safety that will take place in Marrakesh in early 2025. In light of the recent Global Status Report on Road Safety, young people are most impacted by a manmade epidemic: road traffic crashes. Your passion for change and improving your community’s local road safety conditions will contribute to impactful policy changes that will save the lives of young people and all road users.

This web resource is about blindness and painting. It features a documentary called “The Terry Fragments”, which depicts blind painter Terry Hopwood-Jackson’s painting process. After becoming blind, Terry has developed a unique painting process and style, which allows him to execute all stages by himself, apart from mixing the colours. He uses plasticine to create the outlines and textures, which he then paints and varnishes. One painting may take him several weeks to several months, depending on how motivated and inspired he is.
