The "Risk and Ecstasy" workshop, held from October 25-27, 2002, brought together youth from various centers in Alto Adige to discuss the complex relationship between risk-taking and substance use. Participants engaged in interactive experiences, role plays, and open discussions to understand the cultural allure of substances and the importance of informed choices. This collaborative project, supported by the EuroYouth initiative, aimed to empower young people through knowledge, social interaction, and the development of new friendships. Follow-up evaluations highlighted the need for further workshops and sustained engagement.
