WHO WE ARE
The roots of the Planet Youth mehtod can be traced back to 1999 when our founders started to study trends in Icelandic substance use of youth and their well-being and a cooperation started with Icelandic municipalities to change their environment. Our aim from the start has been to find out how substance use prevention can be applied with the best results where traditional methods used in the past have come short.
