Outputs: synchronisation of a short film to be used as a prevention tool; family life basic training for 14 year olds; peer support training and community action for 13-15 year olds. Outcomes: moderation of risk factors of the drift into prostitution; amelioration of life skills; changes of the misbeliefs; creation of a peer support team functioning as a positive role model or/and concrete help.
