Training Course
17-25 October 2021 | Kaunas, Lithuania
Nowadays, many youngsters experiment with drugs. Consequently, some youngsters get addicted to these materials, which leads to long and effort-requiring treatment. In the 25 European countries with available data, 18 countries demonstrate the increase of the overall number of first-time entrants to drug treatment centers. Thus, the problem is evident in the continent.
Even though there are existing methodologies for helping drug addicts recover, they are often outdated (thus their methods call for being re-tested or improved). That is why organisations from Lithuania, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey gathered with the idea of youth work as a tool for better reintegration of former drug users into society and space for their personal development. Accordingly, the main aim of the project is to strengthen the competencies of youth workers in finding adequate approaches to fostering the inclusion and empowerment of young drug addicts. To reach this aim, the following objectives were set:
- Increase awareness (and reduce stigma) about youth drug abuse and its related problems;
- Identify challenges young drug users face and ways to address them;
- Explore the role of youth work in helping young (former) drug addicts;
- Improve the capacities (knowledge and skills) of youth workers to address the needs of young drug addicts and to support their empowerment;
- Share tools and good practices of engaging with vulnerable groups in an international context;
- Create transnational partnerships on inclusion and empowerment of young (ex-) drug addicts among youth organisations.
