Category: Making Space for Change

Previously we worked with pupils at Port Glasgow High School, Inverclyde, to look into the issues that young people in the area face in relation to alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harm. We are onto the second phase of this project now, working with them to implement the ideas they identified with us through youth-led enquiry. The ideas are both school and community focused and include:

• using social media more effectively to engage with young people

• designing activities for a local youth club

• school-based events that can support a dialogue between young people and their parents on alcohol misuse

• designing and piloting school-based peer support activities for young people
