Several publications will be issued to support the project such as a Training manual including tools and good practices to support victims and implementing measures for the prevention of date rape and a Resource Book incorporating all activities undertaken within the project. Two one-day Training Workshops in each partner country will be organised to divulge information and raise awareness on the problematic and a final international conference will seal the end of the project.
