GA number: 101187341
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 24/11/2024 – 31/10/2026

Challenge
Youth drug abuse in the EU is at critically high levels, posing a significant social and public health challenge. The 2023 European Drug Report highlights the increased accessibility and diversity of recreational drugs, leading to earlier and heavier substance use among youth. Furthermore, there are notable gaps in prevention, treatment, and harm reduction strategies across Europe.
Innovation
Choose-Life addresses the issue of youth drug abuse by promoting youth participation, focusing on psychosocial wellbeing, education, and inclusion. It prioritises prevention over punishment to support youths at risk and combat social exclusion and substance dependency.
