✨ MasterPeace Brașov at “Empowerment Over Addiction: Youth Against Drug Abuse”! ✨
📅 Between 3–12 November 2025, MasterPeace Brașov took part in the Erasmus+ youth exchange “Empowerment Over Addiction (YADA)”, held in Alanya, Türkiye 🇹🇷. The project, coordinated by forum JUGEND! e.V. (Germany) with partners from Türkiye, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, and Italy, aimed to empower young people to prevent and address drug abuse through non-formal learning, community engagement, and creative advocacy.
🌍 Throughout the program, participants took part in workshops, discussions, and artistic activities designed to raise awareness of addiction, build resilience, and promote healthier lifestyle choices. They explored the psychological, social, and emotional aspects of substance abuse, while developing skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership through role-playing, group challenges, and city-based tasks.
💡 Among the key outcomes of the project were the creation of educational games, social media campaigns, and visual projects that reflect the difference between life with and without addiction. Participants also developed practical prevention strategies, learned to use creative expression as advocacy, and strengthened intercultural collaboration among youth across Europe.
📄 Each participant received a Youthpass certificate acknowledging their learning journey and achievements. As they return home, they continue to share what they learned by promoting mental health awareness and supporting healthier, more inclusive communities.
🤝 We are proud of our participants for representing MasterPeace Brașov with empathy, creativity, and commitment. Their experience in Alanya proved that when young people unite for a cause, they can turn awareness into action and inspire change in their communities.
