The project has been done at Mencia-Sandrode, a secondary in the township of Zundert. The initiative was taken by a student of the Dutch police academy whom, during her study, is working at the police in Zundert. Together with the community, the secondary, Novadic-Kentron and a youthworker, she has developed two prevention days. The goal was to make, both parents and youth, more aware about drug use among youth. The cooperation, which was given by the school, was superb. Because of this the project more than achieved its goal. In two days time students from the second grade, in the age of thirteen and fourteen years old, expressed their vision, in many different ways, con- cerning drug use. These visions where presented on the second evening. Given the large number of parents that where present on that evening, it was a huge success. The project is surely suited for repetition. At this moment a study is being undertaken to see if the project can be implemented at other schools. Even the layout of the project has been used, within the school, to start and support other projects.
