FedEx Express Europe and the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety (the Alliance) last week delivered milestone training sessions in three Balkan cities as part of their ongoing Safer Cycling Advocacy Program (SCAP).

　　The Safer Cycling Advocacy Program (SCAP) was launched by the Alliance and the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) in 2019, with sponsorship from FedEx Express via a charitable grant. The two-year program promotes advocacy for cycling as a safe and sustainable means of transportation in Europe.

　　A comprehensive guide was published in 2019, compiling the best practices of the Netherlands and Denmark, as two countries with celebrated cycling cultures. The guide equips non-profit organisations globally with the information needed to effectively advocate in their local communities. It has since been translated into Bosnian, Croatian and Slovenian and tailored training sessions were held last week in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zagreb, Croatia, and Ljubljana, Slovenia as a continuation of the program.
