MY SAFE
The consortium aims to meet the provisions set out in the EU strategy on excessive alcohol consumption, or drunkenness, among adolescents to support Member States in reducing alcohol-related harm. It is in line with its priority themes. Furthermore, the project stimulates active citizenship and lifelong learning ethics for teachers and students for its social mission towards vulnerable teenagers. Thanks to the development of the Forum Theatre activities in the context of the fight against abuse, it provides new instruments for social and civic engagement to the target groups, acting directly on the issues of social innovation, the development of training courses, and the inclusion of marginalized young people.
