MoreEASST Projects
Roads are all about communication. Successful road safety policies require a concerted effort across national and regional boundaries and between the EU and its neighbours. EASST works to promote cross-border dialogue and build projects which facilitate cooperation and understanding. Many of the charity’s target countries have frozen conflicts within their boundaries. Our projects – which also span these conflict areas - could be a powerful vehicle for conflict reduction and a vehicle for international cooperation.
