Previously we worked with pupils at Port Glasgow High School, Inverclyde, to look into the issues that young people in the area face in relation to alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harm. We are onto the second phase of this project now, working with them to implement the ideas they identified with us through youth-led enquiry. The ideas are both school and community focused and include:
-
using social media more effectively to engage with young people
-
designing activities for a local youth club
-
school-based events that can support a dialogue between young people and their parents on alcohol misuse
-
designing and piloting school-based peer support activities for young people
Young people again will be leading these projects.
