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.).

Partypeers

VAD – Belgium

Partypeers objectives are:

- Informing and sensitizing about the effects and risks of alcohol and illegal drugs use in recreational settings.
- Informing and sensitizing about the effects and risks of alcohol, illegal drugs use and tiredness on driving skills.
- Informing about the legal aspects of driving under influence of alcohol and illegal drugs.
- Drivers take a break (pit stop) on their way home.

Volunteers give information and advice to youngsters who take drugs, or who are thinking about taking drugs. The goal is that party people can make informed choices about their health and their night out. The volunteers do not take a point of view against or pro drugs, we acknowledge drugs as an inconvenient reality containing risks that can be prevented or minimized by specific actions/interventions. All the info is collected and available on website(s).
In this campaign the volunteers will, in addition to their normal topics, inform drivers on the effects of alcohol, drugs use and tiredness on driving skills (using flyers and banners). They will motivate drivers not to drink or use drugs during the party and they motivate them to take some rest from time to time in our relax seeds. After the party the sober drivers receive a goody bag with (fruit, a drink and some small gadgets). The drivers will be motivated to make a ‘pit stop’ at one of the petrol stations that we selected on the main highways on the way home. If they stop there (to take a break or do a pawernap) they receive a leaflet with a ‘pit stop code’. At home they can enter this code on our campaign website and choose their price.

The aim is not to change behavior, but to change attitudes regarding the intimacy between friends and partners.
