• "Party planned?!" - Folder for party organizers; HaLT project

This is an interactive workshop that provides participants with well-founded and factual information on the subject of cannabis in six stages.

Existing myths such as "smoking weed is healthier than smoking" and other misinformation are corrected. Participants in the workshop are also informed about possible effects on road traffic, among other things.
During the workshop, the young people also reflect on their own biographies by relating the possible effects of cannabis use to the lives of fictitious people. Situations at home and at school are also acted out and discussed. In addition, a change of perspective with parents/caregivers and teachers is encouraged. Finally, the participants receive information about the help system in their region.

Target group: School classes in grades 8 - 10 and youth groups of the appropriate age.

Goals:

• Education about the effects of cannabis use
• Provision of information
• Clarification of legal issues
• Non-consumers are strengthened in their attitude
• Consumers are motivated to reflect on their consumption
• Constructive discussions among the young people are encouraged
• Offers of help are presented
