Banners inviting to consult the site will be broadcast on sites such as MSN, Dailymotion or Skyrock, followed on November 3 by a four-week campaign on three radio stations, then by a mobilization of volunteers from the association in front of colleges to to raise awareness among young people and to place flyers on the handlebars of motorized two-wheelers.
