Abstract
In different cities of the same region we have different kinds of interventions and different philosophies. There was no training, and there was confrontation between different staff.
To develop a regional network and to offer training and support for street workers.
These include:
- Periodical meetings;
- Discussions between professionals involved;
- Regional mailing lists;
- Circulation of information;
- Partnership with the University of Bologna to develop a "Master" course for street workers (It will start in June 2009).
At the moment we focus a lot of attention on youngsters and nightlife, but we have to pay attention to the use/abuse of drugs and alcohol in marginalized people.
Intervention details
Youngsters (aged 15-25)and the homeless (aged 30 or more).
Youngsters (age 15-25) and the homeless (aged 30 or more).
Dissemination of leaflets; presence of infopoint during the night in disco or clubs; presence during "big" musical events
Different situations in different cities.
In some cases it is better if there is a MD "expert" on drug abuse.
Evaluation details
All, but we evaluate projects not single activities.
Financial problems have limited the activities in some cities. Club owners generally support these kinds of activities.
