World Day

WDoR W2023 RECAP

The 30th Edition of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was again commemorated in many countries in the world.

Ceremonies, bike rides, marches, speeches, candle lighting took place in hundreds of towns around the world.

As a picture says more than hundred words here is a 30 pages flip book with a lot of pictures collected from different sources

Thanks to all for your advocacy 

we took cuts from messages, testimonies, speeches from the videos of the past years to make a campaign for the 30th Anniversary and to thank all those who participated in the numerous events

here is the Youtube Playlist with a lot of short messages

Now as the World Day has become a global event after 30 years of volunteers  it is time to  leave the work to others who hopefully will continue in the same spirit with the same passionate advocacy and motivation as we did

25 years WDoR

Here is a 30´´ comment from a “veteran” with 25 years of experience, involvement and development of the World Day of Remembrance (1996 – 2021), first in Luxemburg with AVR – Association nationale des Victimes de la Route and later in Europe as FEVR president, a lot achieved but still a lot needs to be done for and with #RoadVictims & for #RoadSafety Road Danger Reduction until #VisionZero
