ROLE MODELS FOR CHILDREN WITH PSYCHOSOCIAL CHALLENGES
by GAME
Asphalt Meet-Up not only improves children's social skills and creates inclusive communities.
It also includes a peer-to-peer focused element where GAME offers internships to young people who have personal experience of psychosocial challenges themselves and are interested in working with children in the project as positive role models.
In 2022, the Asphalt Meet-Up including the 31 volunteers were active in Silkeborg and in the GAME Houses in Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Aalborg, and in Viborg (picture). A socioeconomic evaluation shows that already four years after the program, the social return on investment equalizes the expenses of the program due to decreased need of health services among the participants.
