On March 18 and 19, in the cities of Kivertsi and Rozhyshche, with the organizational support of the family, youth and sports affairs departments of the district state administrations, information trainings of the project "Gain Knowledge and Help Others" were held. The project is a continuation of the initiative started last year by the Volyn Regional Youth Public Organization "Association of Young Reformers (AMoRe)" and the All-Ukrainian Youth Public Organization "Youth Union Our Ukraine" with financial support from the Family, Youth and Sports Affairs Department of the Volyn Regional State Administration.
40 schoolchildren from the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades from the cities of Kivertsi and Rozhyshche took part in a discussion of the topic of the negative impact of smoking and the use of narcotic substances on the human body. Yuliia Metilka, a member of AMoRe and a student of the Faculty of Psychology of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, served as the trainer during these events. In addition to communicating with the direct participants of the trainings, the project envisages the participation of young people in spreading educational information among their peers. For this purpose, the project participants were given appropriate information brochures. The promotion of a healthy lifestyle does not lose its relevance. Every year more and more young people start smoking, and later also using stronger narcotic substances. According to official data, for the first time, in most cases, people try smoking at the age of 16-20. And therefore during this period it is extremely important to explain in a qualified and accessible way to young people all the possible consequences of using these harmful substances. Only in this way can the development of a healthy nation and of each individual personality be ensured.
