Together for security: Thousands celebrate at the campaign day in Göttingen!

Jahnstadion, Göttingen, Deutschland - On June 15, 2025, around 6000 visitors met in the Jahnstadion in Göttingen for the day of "School, but safe!". In bright sunshine, which illuminated the scene after a short rain shower, the event offered a colorful range of activities for the whole family. The day not only offered numerous sporting attractions such as trampoline jumping and riding on hobby horses, but also valuable information on safety in road traffic. Mayor Onyeka Oshionwu was enthusiastic about the diverse sporting actions and the in -depth security issues that were up for discussion. Patron Andreas Philippi, Minister of Social Affairs, work, health and equality, was also on site and supported the commitment to traffic safety.

A huge highlight was undoubtedly the children's police. At their stand, the little guests were able to try out police caps and even take a seat in a police car. The police also carried out a pedestrian license with the children and clarified about dangers in road traffic, which underlined the importance of traffic safety in the everyday life of the young participants. These activities met with great interest, especially among families, including six -year -old Valentina, who is looking forward to their first schooling.

diverse stage program and voluntary commitment

Another highlight of the day was the stage program, which included dance groups and a fashion show by the fire brigade. The Göttingen Karate Academy delighted with an impressive demonstration, and the saving four-legged friends of the Johanniter rescue dog squadron were also on site. These presented impressively how the training of the dogs works and enabled the children to interact, which provided many unforgettable moments.

Security in focus

The importance of traffic safety was a central topic of the event. According to a current message, over 27,000 road traffic accidents with children under the age of 15 were recorded in Germany in 2023. Although this number was halved compared to the 1990s, there is a slight increase in the need for initiatives such as the "School, but safe!" illustrates. The "School Way Champions" initiative, which was launched in 2024, aims to bring children closer to the safe handling of road traffic. A suitable learning book with playful content is already used in schools and should also be used in Göttingen.

The great commitment of the Göttingen police and other partners such as the Stadtsportbund and the ACV Automobil Club Verkehr ensures that children can safely get to school today. The free traffic primer for primary school children, which is also available in different languages, not only offers teaching material for the school classes, but also strengthens the awareness of the parents for the traffic rules.

A outlook on the next year has already been given: the new edition of the campaign day "School, but sure!" is firmly planned. You can already look forward to which new ideas and attractions the organizers will develop.
