This month, SADD (Students Against Dangerous Driving) is running conferences in Wellington and Dunedin to enable young leaders to come together with other passionate teens, and road safety groups, to discuss ways to take action to prevent further harm on our roads.
At SADD National Conference, students will take part in masterclasses where they problem solve and actively design innovative, preventative approaches to challenges, such as navigating the Graduated Driver Licence System, distracted driving and avoiding risks on our roads.
Conference is being held during April in both the North and South Islands: www.sadd.org.nz/conferenc…
Wellington: St Patricks College, Silverstream, 21-23 April
Dunedin: John McGlashan College, 27-29 April
NZ Police, regional road safety partners and Fire and Emergency NZ will be in attendance to help students produce resources that improve wellbeing outcomes for all New Zealanders and build a road safety culture.
SADD National Manager Donna Govorko says, “Conference brings together like-minded youth who are committed to making a difference. The participants are empowered to lead others to understand how we can all contribute to Vision Zero goals - a 40% reduction in deaths and serious injuries by 2030.”
