What We Do
Drugs Awareness Project
- Date: 19 March, 2008
- Centre: Lower Shankill Bytes
- Category: Personal Development
When a survey was carried out in Lower Shankill Bytes the majority of young people identified drugs as an issue they would like to learn more about. To accommodate this, a four week course in Drugs Awareness was undertaken in Lower Shankill, six young people completed this project. The young people explored their personal attitudes to drugs, how different drugs affect different parts of their bodies, and completed a celebrity influences collage. The young people developed their team building and group work skills, and their knowledge of the effects of drug misuse to enable them to make informed decisions if they encounter drugs in the future.
