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.

Safe Valentine

SPI Forschung gGmbH – Germany

Objectives:

- Informing about the incompability of alcohol and drugs while driving a vehicle
- General information about HIV/AIDS
- Informing about the dangers of unsafe sex
- Make free condoms available for everyone, who is interested in this action

MISTEL/SPI implemented several campaigns called Safe Valentine. In combination with the PEER-project on driving schools the Peer Educators got an additional qualification related to the subject safer sex, HIV/AIDS and love. In total we trained 24 volunteers. The campaigns took place (among the regular offer of PEER-units in driving schools) several times:
-   Valentines Day 2010, Movie Theatre
-   World AIDS Day on the 1st of December 2010, City Centre, Campus, Movie Theatre
-   15th of June 2010 in schools
-   21st of June 2010 in schools
-   Valentines Day on the 14th of February 2011, Driving School
Young people had the opportunity to talk with the volunteers about subjects like Love, HIV/AIDS and safer sex, as well as sober driving. Among the discussions the young people received a Valentine’s postcard with a condom inside. They can present this postcard to their boyfriend/girlfriend. Information about the prevention topics of alcohol and drugs in connection with road use were available for these youngsters.

For the campaign you need: condoms, postcards for the HIV/AIDS campaign, information materials (Flyer, Brochures) for the PEER-project on driving schools; alcovision goggles and cones.
