Abstract
The Blue Datto Foundation has a vision that: each person has the right to enter adulthood carrying positive attitudes and behaviours, supported and encouraged by their families, friends and communities. In order to achieve this vision, Blue Datto provides attitude and behaviour courses to year 10 age students in schools, community groups, and to young people in need. Participants attend a half-full day workshop that provides tools to empower them to speak up as passengers, to behave responsibly when they become drivers, and pledge to do so. The program encourages conversations between young Australians and their families at home, at school and in their communities.
