Planet Youth Seminar in Stockholm
on February the 6th

Seminar on the Icelandic model will be held in Stockholm on the 6th of February 2019.

In Iceland, the use of alcohol and other drugs among young people has fallen very sharply over the past 20 years, from among the highest levels in Europe to among the lowest. This positive development has not come by itself but from a systematic preventive work. Now this preventative model – the Icelandic model (or Planet Youth) – is being spread to other countries both inside and outside Europe.

During a half-day seminar on February the 6th, a more detailed presentation of the model will be given. The seminar is free of charge and is arranged jointly by Planet Youth, the County Administrative Board in Stockholm, Stockholm city and ECAD.
