Paris, 13-17 December 2021

At the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Annual General Assembly 2021, Jimmy Tang, Development and Strategic Partnerships Manager at AIP Foundation, shared how students and youth were at the heart of the Slow Zones, Safe Zones program (Vietnam), reducing the dangers of speeding to save young lives. In the first year of the program, we were able to engage over 25,000 students.

“The young people of today are incredibly bold and they are incredibly creative and curious,” he said. “It’s important […] to be similarly bold and to incorporate youth in your world.”

Involving the younger generation to speak up for road safety is also at the center of Heads Up, a campaign unveiled at the FIA  Annual General Assembly 2021, by Giang Trinh, AIP Foundation’s Program Manager. Focusing on the slogan ‘Helmets Save Lives’, one component of the campaign targets university students among 4 ASEAN countries (Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) to involve them in an awareness video creation contest.
