The International Safety Media Awards honored AIP Foundation with two awards – “Excellence in Media Evaluation” and “Gold” in the short video category – for the organization’s mass media efforts promoting helmet safety in Cambodia. The accolades were announced as part of the closing ceremony of the 12th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion.

The conference, titled “From Research to Implementation,” gathered 1,200 injury prevention professionals from more than 80 countries in Tampere, Finland. Conference participants helped craft the “Tampere Declaration,” which expresses a global commitment to injury prevention and safety promotion.

The event was hosted by the National Institute for Health and Welfare, and was co-sponsored by the World Health Organization.
