The Global Meeting kicked off in style with the poster exhibition opened by Jean Todt, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety and Michelle Yeoh, Global Road Safety Ambassador. 44 Alliance member NGOs presented posters of their best practice programs. Mr. Todt and Ms. Yeoh visited each one and heard about the challenges and successes of road safety NGOs around the world, from large to small organizations from five continents.
The opening event was followed by an interactive demonstration of Greek Dancing by a local dance group.
