Safe and Visible on the Way to School

On November 10, the “Day of the Yellow Hats” campaign took place. The focus was on children’s safety on their way to school—especially during the dark winter months, when poor visibility increases the risk of accidents.

The campaign is part of the “Kreis Borken Sees Yellow” initiative. Through this campaign day, the organizers aim to raise awareness among children and parents about the importance of highly visible clothing when out on the road. The bright yellow hats with their reflective stripes play a key role in ensuring that children are spotted early by other road users.

Even first-year students can win! As part of the campaign, Radio WMW will raffle off two cash prizes of 500 euros each, which the participating schools can use as they see fit.

To have a chance at winning one of the prizes, we need everyone's support: Vote as often as possible, share the call to vote, and let your family, friends, and acquaintances know about the campaign!

Every vote counts—for greater visibility, greater safety, and maybe even 500 euros!

Vote (until November 16, 2026)
