WS1: Bicycle Safety Education for Children from the Perspective of Developmental Stage

2024年11月5日(火) 09:30 〜 11:30 Imabari Port Community Center (1F Minato Hall)

Education and training is essential to nurture safe bicycle riding culture. However, in many countries, including Japan, children as well as adults hardly receive sufficient education. Further, during the previous several decades, infrastructure in Japan had been designed on the premise that bicyclists ride on the sidewalk. As a result, bicyclists have been tolerated for a long time to behave like pedestrians when it suites them. As Japanese government tries to change the current practice, it is the right time to review and propose systematic education for safe bicycle riding aimed at children, caregivers, or other individuals of different life stages. 

What is the aim of the workshop? : The aim of the workshop is to share scientific knowledge of traffic safety education aimed at children of different developmental stages and to discuss practical challenges in light of current Japanese situation. Education and training for adults can be included.  
Who can participate?: Experts who are interested in traffic safety education and aware of the related challenges. The workshop will allow a maximum of 30 individuals.
What are the session methods?: After providing the latest research findings and a framework for traffic safety education, the participants will exchange opinions on how to proceed with future research and practice.
How can I participate?: Participants are required to prepare a free-format abstract of up to 500 words that presents result of recent research or critical review relating to bicycle safety education for children of different developmental or life stages. Please submit your abstracts by 7 October 2024.    
What are the expected outcomes?: The concept of bicycle safety education should be shared through ongoing workshops in the following years.
