Osh city police and OSCE Centre in Bishkek mark International Children’s Day with awareness-raising event
To mark International Children’s Day, on 1 June 2015, The Osh city police, in co-operation with the OSCE Centre in Bishkek, organized an awareness-raising event for children and their parents called “My security”.
The event included interactive quizzes and games focusing on traffic safety rules and the security of schoolchildren; awareness-raising activities led by juvenile delinquency inspectors; briefings led by traffic police for parents, an exhibition of special traffic police vehicles and a performance by the “Young Traffic Police Officers”.
“The event aims to raise awareness among children and their parents on safety measures, and potential dangerous situations, while emphasizing the importance of co-operation between the police and local communities,” said Maciej Dachowski, Head of the Politico-Military Programme at the OSCE Centre in Bishkek.
Some 800 school children participated in a drawing contest, and according to Mavtun Abdrahmanov from Osh, each drawing reflects the inner world of a kid, their desire for a happy childhood, peace, joy and goodness.
Traffic police officers and juvenile delinquency inspectors brought together schoolchildren and their parents in interactive activities, and shared various brochures, posters and flyers on traffic safety, the safety and security of children, preventing juvenile delinquency and how to limit the negative impact of the internet on children.
