Projects

The Centre developed a resource manual for the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training to provide guidance to schools to assist them in preparing students for peer leadership roles in the conduct of drug education forums in both primary and secondary school settings. The manual includes extensive agendas and activities for use in the running of drug education forums for peers, for younger students or for multi-age groups or public forums involving parents, agencies and community members. The materials can also be used to inform those designing creative approaches to health promotion involving arts or cultural activities. It will be published and distributed to all Australian schools in 2006.

The project was carried out by Helen Cahill, Bern Murphy and Cheryle Kane.
