Streetwork in Hall: Together against drugs and group compulsion!

Hall in Tirol, Österreich - What's going on in Hall? Last Tuesday there was an interesting exchange between the street worker teams from Jam and MDA BaseCamp. The two organizations work hand in hand to offer young people orientation and support. According to Meinzirk.at visited an employee of mda basecamp the Jam team and accompanied them in their daily work. The aim of this collaboration is to create trust and give young people the information they need at an early stage.

In a colorful cargo bike that was used for excessive work, various topics such as group pressure, substance consumption and everyday questions were addressed. Then there was a barbecue evening in the garden of the JAM arrival. Here was discussed in a relaxed atmosphere - without any powerpoint or lectures. The municipality of Hall supports this preventive offer and plans to offer it again in autumn.
