SAFETY WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN

Welcome to Mr. Danfo’s Safety Workshop Project, a unique initiative that emerged from the captivating Safety and Street Signs Series, which commenced in July 2022. The workshop officially launched on May 20, 2023, at the prestigious Alliance Française de Lagos, with an enthusiastic participation of nearly 40 children aged between 5 and 15 years.

Our primary objective is to engage professional safety officials who will educate children on essential safety precautions. Through interactive sessions, we aim to establish a deep understanding of safety and caution signs, while encouraging the young participants to express their creativity by creating artwork using safety signs or themes.

In our inaugural edition, we had the privilege of hosting esteemed guests from the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lagos Island Command, led by ACC Esther E. Uzoma. Accompanying her were ARC O. Odebiyi and RC R.O. Baji. Together, they skillfully imparted knowledge to the children, elaborating the significance of various traffic signs, shapes, color, and signal designs in our everyday lives. 

Throughout the workshop sessions, Mr. Danfo’s captivating paintings from his Safety and Street Sign Series were displayed. These stunning artworks served as references and inspiration, igniting the children’s imagination and creativity.

Looking ahead, Mr. Danfo envisions a grand group exhibition featuring nothing less than 100 children. Set to take place in 2024, this exhibition will be a testament to the lasting impact of our workshop series. 

By nurturing young talents and arming them with substantial knowledge in safety, we aim to raise a generation of safety-conscious and outspoken children who can also express themselves artistically.

We are truly grateful to have the support of numerous passionate individuals, both within and outside Mr. Danfo’s profession, who have come together to contribute their unique talents and expertise to this remarkable project. Here is a list of the exceptional young people who are wholeheartedly supporting this initiative in various capacities:
