Safety Plan participated and collaborated in
this program.
On 21 September, coinciding with the Eu-
ropean Mobility Week, a seminar on road
safety for children was organised, consis-
ting of several free-of-charge activities, by
FCC jointly with the city’s local authorities.
Thanks to this activity, the children and fa-
mily members of company employees en-
joyed the event while learning at the same
time.
The collaboration agreement between the
Alcobendas Town Council and FCC Citizen
Services Group will promote educational
and training actions, promoting road safety
and will increase this offering by including
other concepts such as road safety during
working hours and risk-awareness.
