In the second location of the day, there was an established project that supports initiatives from the young people towards music, dance, video making and theatre in the local community.
The interesting fact here is that they use them as a weapon against drugs - whenever there is a traffic location, leaders from diverse communities are called to gather together and promote events on the traffic region. These events serve as triggers to both advise the danger of drugs and also to make a movement of inclusion where young people can participate on the activities of the group.
All activities and parties are designed to be alcohol free and have the focus on the young people performing the acts. In fact, a short video made by the children will be broadcast in the local tv soon featuring the group activities.
The issue with this initiative is that it greatly depends on the local municipality. The current one is very conscious about the drug issue and have been supporting this initiative but a change of mayor can also change everything.
Below you can see the pictures:
