Help me!

This world needs you,
as I need your hand…
This world loves you,
as I love your soul.
Help me, when I’m alone,
when something worries me,
and I will give you something else,
I will teach you what I know!
Help me when I need you in trouble!
Help me, when it is scary,
and I will free you from another danger!
Here is my hand, let it protect you, so you will not worry.
I give it to you, my powers, my heart…
Lets help each other with whatever is possible…
Lets live holding our hands!

Fatal reflections

Fatal Reflections® is a computer-simulated situation of accident, resulting from alcohol abuse.
Young people tend to believe that tragedies due to alcohol and other drug impairment only happen to other people. Fatal Reflections® generates a personalized multimedia presentation in news story format featuring your students. Take digital pictures of participants and assign them roles in a motor vehicle crash or party scene. Fatal Reflections® creates a fast-paced, custom news story that describes an incident involving alcohol and places your students in the middle of the situation. Engage your audience in a meaningful discussion about the very real consequences of alcohol misuse and abuse. Influencing your audience to consider alternative choices to alcohol misuse and abuse begins with engaging them in meaningful discussion about personal responsibility and the consequences of choice.

Responsible Young Drivers - Luxembourg

Objectives:

- Develop the sense of responsibility regarding risky behaviors
- Increase the awareness regarding the use of prevention tools
- Encourage indirect actors to sensitize their friends, lovers… to take up a responsible attitude on the road as in their relationship.

AIDS: This action will explain the importance of using a condom and how to wear it correctly . In heterosexual or homosexual relationships, it is important to choose a responsible partner. Wearing a condom is not just the problem of the holder. To stay alive both partners have to be responsible. We will give condom to young people, explain them how to wear it correctly and offer them the possibility to write a postcard for a friend, a lover,...any person they want to sensitize on that topic.
Road Safety: This action will focus on the importance of a responsible behavior on the road. The originality of this action is to target the passengers instead of the drivers. The passengers have an important role in the car, they can easily influence the driver behavior. We would give weapons to passengers to stay alive on the road. Examples : reasons to wear the seat belt, do not seat in a car if the driver is under any influence, …
To control the sobriety of the driver, we will use an “Alcoborne”, a public alcohol breath tester.

For the campaign you need: stand, condoms, posters, postcards, informative leaflets and the “Alcoborne”.

Respect: University of Nicosia - Cyprus

Objectives:

•    The Respect campaign aims to raise awareness that respectful driving behaviour and respecting our alcohol intake confers several advantages:
o    Drivers become less stressful as polite and respectful driving behaviour leads to a reduction in stress. Similarly, reducing one’s intakes of alcohol also reduces stress on our internal organs
o    Respectful driving behaviour leads to a reduction in road rage as aggression on the road decreases. Regulating the amount of alcohol one drinks can also reduce aggressive and anti-social behaviour
•    Ultimately, the main objective is to communicate that respectful behaviour saves lives and promotes health.

The Respect campaign aims to raise awareness that respectful behaviour can save lives. This is achieved across two domains:
- Respect towards other drivers through more polite and less aggressive driving behaviour
- Respect towards our bodies by limiting the intake of alcohol
The Respect campaign will take place in Nicosia backed by the Cyprus Government and promoted across the capital through television and newspaper announcements. Volunteers will be placed at busy crossroads around the capital and their task is to distribute a folder containing the following:
- Details outlining the Respect Campaign and why it is important
- Health and environmental benefits associated with respectful behaviour
- Questionnaire to be completed by the driver that measures:
•   Current level of polite and respectful driving behaviour
•   Current alcohol consumption

For the campaign you need: t-shirts; posters; folder containing: details outlining the Respect Campaign & leaflet containing information on the benefits of respectful driving behaviour; leaflet containing information on the benefits of decreasing alcohol consumption; questionnaire to determine level of respectful behaviour in respondent and to highlight areas where improvements can be made.
