The aim is to address young people and young adults directly in their everyday life - in parks, in squares or at events. The project is funded by the science city of Darmstadt.
Mayor Barbara Akdeniz emphasizes: " The innovative project opens up new spaces for young people. It enables you to feel intense, feel alive and discover new things - without alcohol and drugs. "
Creative formats: "Info time" and "noise time"
The project includes two formats:
- "Info time" : A trained team offers low -threshold, playful information about addiction, consumer behavior and alternatives in the warmer months. " In addition to information, it is particularly important to us to listen. This is the only way we can develop our prevention work in a targeted manner ," explains Michelle Denk from the Addictive Prevention department.
- "Rowing time" : The focus here is on sensual experiences. Music, movement, art and mindfulness should enable intensive feelings and so-called flow states-without the use of addictive substances.
