- Renault has also invested in education at primary level. Since its launch in 2000, Renault's international 'Safety for All' education campaign has given primary school teachers kits of teaching material on road safety and a drawing competition. This year's scheme has enabled Renault to reach more than 1.2 million children aged between 7 and 11 from Cyprus, France, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey invited to produce drawings on the theme of 'Getting to School Safely'. On 9 June the winning classes from the eight countries were invited to visit Disneyland Paris, where 200 children had gathered for the International Finals of this year’s seventh annual 'Safety for All' programme to a close.
