2. ASPAEN GIMNASIO LA FRAGUA In our school, mobility has been one of the main aspect since the beginning, so that, a group of students were very worried about the lack of awareness, and through a brainstorming they brought different ideas to generate a change at our school, by making students reduce the risk and put in practice the school bus rules.

3. YOUR IDEAS Many accidents can occur inside a bus route, in regards to that problems, we must generate consciousness in students and all community at ASPEN GIMNASIO LA FRAGUA, that a safe road taking into account the school bus rules is very important, so, since our school is located not too far from the city, we witness that more than 80 % of the school community use the school bus service. For that reason, we embarked on a journey of safe road. First, we identified the population in the school which take the school bus service through observation, then we collected data from the school bus service's coordinator, that was really helpful and gave us the proper tools to work with.

4. YOUR IDEAS While we were observing the students heading to the school buses, we noticed that the repetitive actions committed by students were: stand up meanwhile the bus was going, students liked eating and drinking inside the bus, they sometimes were impolite with the school bus driver, etc. According to this, we as a small group of students from 8th grade could not bear to see it any longer and we decided to take action by showing the school community the rules, we have to keep in mind when it comes to take a school bus route, we wanted to become agents of change and contribute with a safe road and generate awareness of school bus rules.

5. YOUR INITIATIVES As leaders of the project, we thought about the most common problems that was evidenced on student’s behavior during the school bus route, after we think about the problem identification, we decided to spread the school bus service´s rules, through the School Bus Service Coordinator. Furthermore, students made a set of presentations, explaining the safe behavior in the school bus, through power point presentations, forums, informative brochures, videos, posters, drawings, etc. Our team worked with primary and secondary students, doing the activities mentioned before and it was a big challenge, due to it inspired and made all students were involved, regarding that it is a tough issue.

6. Most students from all grades had an active participation in the project. finally, we summarized the rules to give them to each school bus monitor, in order to remain student's awareness while travelling home. It had a strong impact in school’s community. This awareness campaign on road safety has widened our knowledge about the responsibility, each one of us have towards by applying safety measures and applying the rules we have to follow in a school bus route.
