The metropolitan area of Tunis, the Medenine
Governatorate and Tataouine are characterised
by high rates of isolation, a lack of educational
and employment opportunities, and a
particularly strong influence of doctrines
of hate. These conditions have increased the
visibility of violent forms of extremism, which
is why we are working to create “Peace
Clubs” in schools, where our local partner IDH
monitors and involves students in its work.
One of the greatest results has been the
identification and selection of 97 ambassadors
working to promote a culture of peace and
global citizenship among youth.
THEIR STORIES
Six people die of drowning-related causes
every day in Cambodia (WHO figures), but
many children and adults are unaware of the
danger.
This is why Helpcode holds drowning
prevention courses. “The techniques we
learned save lives,” says one participant. “I
remember a child found in a pond, who unable
to get out. He was near death and was only
saved because there was someone on hand
who knew how to perform cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.” The episode is unusual; in most
cases in Cambodia, nobody knows what to do,
and people even make things worse by trying
to save drowning victims the wrong way.
