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.

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.).

Alive: Responsible Young Drivers - Luxembourg

Objectives:

- Develop the sense of responsibility regarding risky behaviors
- Increase the awareness regarding the use of prevention tools
- Encourage indirect actors to sensitize their friends, lovers… to take up a responsible attitude on the road as in their relationship.
Road of illusions: Road Safety Institute „Panos Mylonas” – Greece

Objectives:

- To convince, mainly young people, to drive safely without being under the influence of alcohol
- To inform the participants about the results of hyper-consumption of alcohol when they are driving and not only
- To change the mentality of drink and driving
Come and take it: 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.
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.
