With the CON.NE.sSI 2 project, we wanted to address the issue of substance use among young people, which increasingly affects our communities. The main goal was to raise participants’ awareness about the risks related to the use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, helping them develop a healthy and responsible lifestyle. We aimed to create a safe and creative space where young people could express themselves, share experiences and reflect together using dance, theatre and non-formal education methods. The project also aimed to strengthen critical thinking, the sense of European belonging and the ability to collaborate with peers from different backgrounds. Specific objectives included: - promoting social inclusion for young people with fewer opportunities - encouraging active participation and responsible citizenship - using culture and art as tools for prevention and communication - improving participants’ personal, interpersonal and intercultural competences
