“Stay Alive!” a project of the “Iniziativa Giovani” of the Gruppo Informale InaspettataMente di Padova – Youth in Action Experience
During this meeting-debate the experience of the “Iniziativa giovani” project will be described. The “Iniziativa Giovani” was realized by an informal group made up of 6 young people and dedicated to the awareness about the risks of alcohol abuse and the prevention of youth unrest. The methodology of the project is based on “peer education” and promotes the effectiveness of non-formal learning. The young promoters were involved in different training moments with experts of the sector, in a meeting aimed at the promotion of the project and the involvement of other young people in meetings held outside the most crowded places of Padua, during which it was presented the project and set up a stand, and young people were asked to take the blood alcohol test to measure their blood alcohol content, working also on their physical and emotional perception after alcohol consumption. To conclude the project, a meeting was organized to disseminate the outcomes and feature the realized products. The project was promoted through the channels that are more suitable to young people, such as the Internet, free magazines and leaflets. Speakers: Silvia Girolamo, Francesco Armellino and Valeria Edison Petrosillo.
