MNU Thinadhoo Campus participated in the RAKKA Road Show 2026 – Children’s Evening, held in GDh. Thinadhoo on 17 October 2026, contributing interactive learning activities aimed at developing road safety awareness and safer habits among children and families.

The event brought together children, families, public institutions, community organisations, and activity partners in an engaging environment where important road safety messages were communicated through play and practical learning.

At the MNU stall, children participated in the “Fix the Street!” – 60-Second Road Safety Challenge, where they identified unsafe situations in a road scene and rearranged elements such as pedestrians, vehicles, traffic signs, helmets, zebra crossings, and footpaths to create a safer street. The activity encouraged children to recognise common road risks and think about appropriate and responsible behaviour as pedestrians, cyclists, and road users.

The stall also featured a Family Road Safety Pledge and Photo Corner, encouraging children and parents to make simple commitments such as wearing seat belts and helmets, avoiding phone use while crossing roads, and slowing down near schools. This reinforced the message that road safety is a shared family responsibility. Pasted markdown

A “What Would You Do?” Road Safety Challenge allowed children and parents to identify whether everyday road situations were safe or unsafe and explain their choices, while a Flip Board featuring road safety signs helped strengthen recognition and understanding of important traffic signs.

Through these activities, MNU Thinadhoo Campus used learning through play, problem-solving, family participation, and practical decision-making to help children understand the importance of pedestrian safety, helmet and seat-belt use, responsible road behaviour, and respect for other road users.

The initiative contributes to SDG 3 by promoting awareness of road safety and the prevention of road traffic injuries. Helping children recognise unsafe road behaviours and develop safer habits from an early age supports healthier and safer communities.

The activity also contributes to SDG 4 by providing an inclusive, experiential learning opportunity in which children developed practical knowledge, decision-making, communication, and problem-solving skills outside the classroom.

By encouraging safer use of roads and greater awareness of pedestrian and traffic safety, the initiative further supports SDG 11, particularly the promotion of safer and more inclusive communities and transport environments.

The participation of MNU Thinadhoo Campus alongside the Maldives Police Service, local institutions, community organisations, and other activity partners also contributes to SDG 17, demonstrating the value of partnerships in strengthening community education and promoting safer behaviour.

Through participation in initiatives such as RAKKA 2026, MNU Thinadhoo Campus continues to support community-based learning that equips children and families with practical knowledge and encourages shared responsibility for creating safer communities.

MNU Thinadhoo Campus extends its appreciation to the Maldives Police Service, organisers, participating institutions, community partners, families, and everyone who contributed to making the Children’s Evening a meaningful learning experience.
