The goal is for the students to get used to wearing a reflective vest and the hope is that the children after the project will voluntarily put on the vest as soon as they go out.

- It is not coercion but none of the students have protested.

Everyone has been cautiously positive.

Some people think it is a bit embarrassing, but when everyone does it, it becomes less embarrassing, says Magnus Larsson, mentor for year six at Sävstaskolan.

Want to offer vest to everyone

Sävstaskolan hopes that all students are inspired to wear a reflective vest.

But whether the school will offer vests to all children is not yet clear.

- Hopefully it can give rings on the water and that the school may have the opportunity to offer students vests, but how we will get it out to everyone we do not know yet, says Magnus Larsson.

That is why the reflective vests are needed

With the text “I dare to be seen.

Do you dare? ”

on the back, the students at Sävstaskolan have got both Österåker independent school and class 6B at Slottsskolan to be part of the western project for the next two weeks.

But why are it precisely grade 6 students who wear the vests and are they even needed?

Magnus Larsson answers that in the video below.
