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.).

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.
