The problem that brought them to UPSHIFT: the worsening of drug, gambling, and alcohol addiction among the city's youth due to the war.

The solution found at UPSHIFT: a team whose members are representatives of the NGO "International Anti-Drug Association" developed an information campaign on the topic of spreading the negative consequences of using psychoactive substances. "StopNarcotics" held a series of lectures for young people, parents and teachers. The listeners learned more about the potential risks and consequences of early use of psychoactive substances, as well as the value of leading a healthy lifestyle. During the implementation, the team worked closely with the Department of Education and Science of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, which helped to attract as many listeners as possible to the lectures.

"StopNarcotics" plans to continue holding new lectures in Mykolaiv educational institutions, as the topic remains relevant, and the demand for additional information has increased after the project.
