The famous brand supported once again the Young Traffic Inspectors movement in Ukraine and became the partner of Ukrainian anniversary gathering of the most gifted young inspectors of the country.
On the September 11 the winners of the 40th KVN UID gathering and the 20th Final competition of the school teams of the Club of Cheerful and Quick-Witted were awarded in the Ukrainian Children Center “Molodaya Gvardya” in Odessa. The creative competition was organized by the Management of road safety of National police of Ukraine, Ministry of education and science, Ministry of social policy and with the help of the devoted partner of the movement – the “Foxtrot” Group of Companies.
1500 pupils from all the regions of Ukraine gathered for the anniversary meeting in “Molodaya Gvardya”. They are the best activists, their agitation brigades and KVN UID teams, who every year one more time prove, that young generation chooses the save roads. During the week pupils competed in the knowledges of the traffic code, and in different contents like “Bike relay race”, “Young traffic-controller”, “Public opinion performance”, “The theory of the traffic regulations”, “Medical help” and “Social advertising”. Three of them became the best: Dnepropetrovsk (the first position in the team competition), Zhytomyr and Lvov regions (2 and 3 positions accordingly).

The culmination of the gathering was the final KVN UID competition. The high level humor was demonstrated by three teams: Chernovczi, Volyn and Lvov. The main slogan –“Safe traffic – best friend”. In the beloved KVN genre children told, that there's no place for jokes on the road and joked about those, who don't follow the regulations. This year we have two winners: the first place was divided between the team “Stop Kadr” from the little town Beregomet, Chernovczi district and “Cop” from Volyn.
“The children in Bukovyna team are winners of the last year KVN UID, so they are good experienced and are already able to teach. But kids from Volyn are just newcomers, who learn from adults and win!”, Yvan Prokhorenko, the colonel of police, the substitute of the head of preventing department and the chief of Management of road safety said, when congratulated the victors. “I thank you, pupils, teachers, chiefs of the teams for the noble work you do. Special gratitude to our dear partners for support and popularization of the traffic regulations.
“The “Foxtrot” Group of Companies is UIDs partner last 13 years, and this partnership gave rise to our social project “School of Safety”entitled “Comfort is Impossible without Safety”. And let the years of our partnership multiply, and results of the pedagogical activity rejoice! We're sure, children that are informed about traffic regulations will never cause any trouble on the road”, Alevtina Beletskaya, press-secretary of GK “Foxtrot” said when wished to the young participants.
There're a lot of devoted friends of the UID movement among the partners:Association of International Road Carriers in Ukraine, the Community of Motorists in Ukraine, state enterprise “Ukrainian medical center of the traffic safety and communicatory technologies in the Ministry of Health in Ukraine”, Assistance of defense, Committee of assistance of Ministry of defense in Ukraine and Ukrainian children center “Molodaya Gvardya”. They're united by the common purpose – making the kids’ childhoods safe and comfortable. And that's impossible without the knowledge of the traffic ordinance.
Information: Since 2003 GK “Foxtrot” supported the initiatives of State government in the field of preventing traffic accidents with children. There're contests of children drawing “Secure Traffic is my Best Friend” and UID competitions of both local and state level among the mutual projects of GKF and National police. Besides, the cartoon series “Fox and Trot are hurrying to help” was created by joint efforts of Group of companies “Foxtrot” and the State emergency service of Ukraine.
The educating leaflet “Right actions during the fire” was based on the most popular (according to the number of views) series “Fire”.
