  • Party Friends Night (November 2012)
    • The Nightlife Empowerment and Well-being Implementation Project (NEWIP) partners are planning to organize a EU Safer Night, next November 2012. The target public are the partygoers and the nightlife workers. The main aim of the campaign is to create awareness among groups of friends to take care of each other, including when problems occur in relation with the use of substances. Another goal is to influence the social norms and promote healthy behaviors within groups of friends.

      The first tools and actions planned by the NEWIP partners will be presented during the Club Health Conference (Prague - December 2011) and the NEWIP interactive Workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss it and to take part in the creation of the campaign. The audience will also have the opportunity to join us in order to implement the campaign within their cities and clubs.

      It is planned to involve different stakeholders for the implementation of the campaign at various levels:
      - Nightlife projects (from NGOs, Administrations or Universities)
      - Party organizers (clubs / festivals / free parties)
      - Media

      More practical info to join the campaign will be issued soon.

      • New Technologies and Media for Field Intervention
        • WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
          During the first session an introduction about the role and possible use of ICT in social intervention and e-health will be presented to participants. The purpose will be to highlight background theories, methods and approach to in-field mediated intervention in nightlife contexts.

          This session will be followed by the presentation of three different examples of technologies used in nightlife interventions, in order to supply a closer view on the modalities in which technologies could be implemented in nightlife interventions.

          Thanks to these theoretical and practical presentations, participants will have the possibility to give a concrete contribution to the NEWIP media and videogames content, during a videogame design session that will close the workshop.

          During Friday May 20th night, participants can join the organizing group to have an in-field training on the use of these technologies during a night event at Link (a famous club in Bologna).
