For the governing body, Environmental Education aims to raise awareness amongst the community and stakeholders. Therefore, this programme supports them in understanding that the sport generates negative and positive impacts that influence the quality of life and the future of Motorcycle sport as a whole and motivates and inspires this community to do something for the environment. As a socially responsible organisation, the governing body is aware of these impacts. As a part of our sustainability policies, education for the youngest members of our sporting community is one of the most critical priorities. Our concern about the quality of our environment motivates us to invest in the new generation. For the governing body, the young represent a responsibility not only in sporting matters, security, and fair play but also represents for us the responsibility to show them the path to a sustainable sport. Therefore, this programme started to educate our young riders with playful activities in environmental protection and how to apply the environmental code, and how to help the planet by practising their favourite sport.
