In High School of Graphic Technology, Design and Multimedia in IlidĹľa, peer education workshops were held that covered the topic of smoking, alcohol and drugs. The staff of this schooling institution recognised the significance of peer education for their students and therefore gladly responded to our call, which continued our cooperation within the “Info-Point for Youth” project.
The students had the opportunity to learn more about the negative effects of smoking, alcohol and drugs. They were surprised by the fact that every smoked cigarette decreases the lifespan by 7 minutes and that consummation of great amounts of alcohol leads to a pathological process that affect brain functioning.
The presentations were held during Biology lessons and lasted for an extent of the lesson. The students were introduced with the Info-Point as a place youth can visit and acquire more information on sexual and reproductive health.
