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!

Driving simulator

The driving simulator is a high-tech machine, designed to simulate as close as possible to the reality situation on the road, using 3D platform to visualize the driving experience. It supports the messages with enabling participants to acquire personal experience. Each of them can check their personal skills and ability to drive and in the meantime understand how important it is to stay focused on the road all the time not only for oneself but also for the other road users.
The driving simulator allows reaching large numbers of people in a relatively short time without reducing the quality. For the basic program, including discussion of the primary safety measures, breaks reaction measurement and simulation of a situation while driving, no more than 10 minutes per person are needed. A more detailed analysis is more time consuming (e.g. examination of the performed simulations, an analysis of driving after drinking, gap analysis, analysis of different angles, etc.).

Avenir Santé - France

The objective of the project is to reduce, among youngsters in recreational settings, drug consumptions which can also have bad consequences on driving capacities.

The aim of the project is to intriguing youngsters at the entrance of the clubs with something (paper, powder, white substance, glass of liquid... something they can recognize or not) which is given to us by young people who are dressed as regular partygoers.
Inside the club, a stand of volunteers who inform revelers about the links between drugs consumption and road accidents. Towards the youngsters who come to the stand with the object given before they entered the club, the objective of the volunteers will be to convince them not to accept and to consume products that they do not know, which can have important consequences on road accidents. The discussions may also happen between party-clubbers.

For the campaign you need: Stand with information, 1 alcovision goggles, paper or powder or white substance or glass of liquid to be given at the entrance of the clubs, computer to test the reflexes of young drivers, posters of road accidents campaigns linked to the consumption of products.

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.
