aged from 16 to 22 can work as Educadores Urbanos Cebras (Urban Zebra
10 Educators). After a two-month training course, in which they learn about
road rules and “the spirit of the zebra” (being positive and friendly), they go
out onto the streets to control the traffic and to talk to pedestrians and drivers
about road safety. (4) This part-time job gives them the chance to learn

new skills, to work with other people and to help their community. They
get a small salary for their work, but more importantly, they also have the
opportunity to do training courses, which help them find more work in the
future. Some Zebra Educators visit hospitals and schools to talk to children
about other topics like bad behaviour or the environment.
