Project Details
Description
The objective of this territory-wide project is to strategically introduce anti-drug knowledge into Hong Kong’s secondary schools. Adolescents, being in a critical developmental stage, are susceptible to external influences. Additionally, students have close connections with their families and communities, and their behaviors and choices not only impact themselves but also affect their families and communities.Currently, traditional methods of disseminating anti-drug knowledge, such as textbooks and lectures, may not fully engage today’s tech-savvy, digitally native student population. To address this, we plan to leverage modern technology and innovative educational methods. Our goal is to stimulate students’ curiosity, deepen their understanding, and enhance awareness of the dangers of drugs. Through structured curriculum content and practical activities, we aim to strengthen students’ awareness and understanding of drug prevention. We also seek to help them establish correct values and healthy lifestyles while enhancing their self-protective awareness. Practical prevention and coping measures will be provided to steer them away from drug temptations.We anticipate that approximately 6,000 young people will benefit from this project. The primary activities of the project include drug identification, understanding drug hazards, drug prevention, and drug education. It is estimated that 80% of the participating youth will experience improvements in knowledge acquisition, skill enhancement, attitudes, and values after completing the program. Furthermore, participants will demonstrate noticeable improvements in their knowledge of drug-related harms and awareness of drug prevention after their involvement in the project.
