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!

Alcogoggles

The alcogoggles that simulate vision with different concentration of alcohol in the blood (e.g. between 0.7 and 1 promile), allow the participant to experience vision under influence while actually being sober.
The alcogoggles are an internationally popular evidenced-based prevention tool used to educate people of all ages about the consequences of alcohol misuse and abuse. The goggles use special lens technology that allows the wearer to experience a realistic simulation of impairment. They simulate six distinct impairment levels and are available in a clear or shaded version to simulate either daytime or nighttime conditions. A popular activity to conduct with them is to perform Standard Field Sobriety Tests such as walking a straight line heal-to-toe or the one-legged stand. Due to the loss of balance and equilibrium produced by the goggles, the wearer will exhibit behaviors that are similar to that of someone under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.

Heroes Campus Tour

Responsible Young Drivers – Belgium

The Heroes Campus Tour is an awareness campaign on drugs and road safety organized in universities in order to reach all students.

This campaign consists in an outdoor and indoor visual campaign. A strong visual message will make students aware of the effects that drugs can engender. The campaign will be composed by a poster (enclosed but translated in French) with the message: “Your driving license, Your brain cells, Your life. All you can loose with a simple joint”. A fake joint (like on the poster) will be distributed to the students to create a “buzz”. Inside this joint, the students will discover a message of prevention about drugs.
This visual campaign will be accompanied by an awareness stand with volunteers (previously trained) giving leaflets and answering to questions on drugs or road safety. The students will also have the opportunity to test the AlcoVision goggles showing them the effect of drugs on the vision.
This campaign can be moved from one university to another in order to create a rotation and allow the message to be conveyed further.

For the campaign you need: Stand with information, 2 AlcoVision goggles, 5 traffic cones, 1000 prevention leaflets, 500 posters, 200 fake joints.

Just say it!: Responsible Young Drivers - The Netherlands

Making young people aware of the importance of talking/discussing with your partner/friends in risky situations, such as driving back home as passenger with an impaired driver, or having sex without condom and not daring to frankly talk about it with the concerned person, because afraid of consequences. The aim is not to change behavior, but to change attitudes regarding the intimacy between friends and partners.
