The ShLOW! (Show me How Slow) project, led by the European Transport
Safety Council (ETSC), is organising a Camp on Speed Management to take
place in Brussels from 3 through 9 May.








ShLOW! focuses on the work of committed young students who will be
encouraged to run a local campaign or concrete action to reduce
speeding in road transport with the support of ETSC and its partners.
The first stage for the students is participation in a "Camp" in
Brussels, which provides a one-week training on speed management.






Using the knowledge acquired during the Camp, the students will, on
their return home, carry out an individual project on Speed Management
at the local level. During their projects, the students will receive
the support of consortium partners. At the end of ShLOW!, the most
successful student will be invited to Brussels to receive an award.






50 places on the Camp are available. All types of student are eligible
- undergraduate, masters and PhD.






Further information and application forms for the Camp can be found on
the ShLOW! website - http://www.shlow.eu/ . Note that the deadline for
applications has been extended, and that they can be accepted until the
end of April.

Editor's note: And we thought that our word "slowth" was terrbily ugly.
Shlow poses a serious threat.
