Europe has the distinction for being the heaviest drinking region in the world. Over 90% of European youth have drunk alcohol by age 16. Teens who start drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop an alcohol addiction than those who do not begin drinking before the legal age of 21 (www.learn-about-alcoholism.com/effects-of-teenage-drinking.html). Harmful and hazardous alcohol consumption (or ARH, Alcohol-Related Harm) has a personal consequence (health, work, social, emotional) as well as a negative economic and societal consequence (overall health care costs, employment, crime, work, relationships). Young people, especially those from less advantaged social groups, are at particularly high risk for ARH. The need to reduce ARH is clear. By addressing ARH among young people the partnerships also wishes to address the EU 2020 goals of employment (ARH is related to unemployment and work problems), education (ARH is related to higher drop out rates), and fighting poverty and exclusion (ARH is related to more social/physical problems which, in turn, are related to poverty and exclusion). Reducing ARH will also contribute to the Lisbon Agenda of more Healthy Life years for all. With thorough consideration of the Covid-19 pandemics, the partners took the required steps, with the participants’ safety staying the priority. The locally-based phases were carried out online, whereas the mobility activities were implemented with all applicable precautions taken into consideration. We were constantly monitoring the situation and followed the recommendations of the governments and health authorities of the partner countries in the part of travelling and border crossing. The decision to carry out the Youth Exchange on the scheduled dates was made only when the state rules of all the countries participating in the project allowed the groups to travel to Lithuania without any restrictions. Lithuania, in turn, was ready to receive the groups without Covid-19 tests, restrictions and self-isolation. This was confirmed by the official website of the European Commission: https://reopen.europa.eu/en. The partnership consisting of youth organisations from the UK, Estonia, Lithuania and France carried out this youth project to address ARH among youth through the use of non-competitive sports and games. Besides, the project also focused on using a peer-to-peer approach to raise awareness about ARH and to gain the active participation of youth in recognising and dealing with ARH and its consequences. Young people were better empowered to address and prevent ARH and to have input on the social pressure advertisers and alcohol companies exert. In this way they can effect change in their communities. Objectives of the project were to: - Promote sports volunteering and non-competitive games as a way to acquire skills, increase understanding of ARH and its consequences, develop effective ways to reduce ARH and improve the community at the same time. - Raise awareness of the personal and societal issues associated with ARH particularly as it applies to youth from deprived backgrounds. These issues include linking reduction of ARH to increased employment, reduction in poverty, better health, safer communities. - Equip youth with increased key competences/skills to help them better address project issues in their communities, build a sense of belonging to their communities and increase their ability to devise effective solutions in addressing their problems. - Develop skills and competences aimed at reducing ARH, promoting active citizenship, community involvement, increasing work related skills and decreasing marginalisation, social exclusion, and poverty. - Increase innovative thinking in addressing problems. - Develop life-long skills and healthy behaviours. - Increase intercultural and social tolerance. - Show youth how to find and use resources to obtain information and training. - Support project dissemination/sustainment. - Use the project as a springboard for networking between participants. - Make participants aware of the Erasmus+ programme and its potential.
