EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST INVITED TO JOIN SMARTER ABOUT DRUGS YOUTH FOCUS GROUP

Smarter About Drugs is a secondary school resource that is designed by Australia21, Australian Lions Drug Awareness Foundation and Students for Sensible Drug Policy Australia to facilitate informed discussions among students about alcohol and other drug policies in Australia. With a strong focus on public policy, we hope to empower young people to be engaged in conversations about drug policy within their local and national communities.

2)     Generating and executing ideas for improving the Smarter About Drugs resource for students, teachers and parents to improve its effectiveness and delivery

3)     Investigating how Smarter About Drugs can be adapted to complement a range of secondary school curriculums studied in Australia
