CALL: DRUG PREVENTION
The Drug Prevention and Information programme has published its combined calls for proposals for 2009/2010 transnational actions. Five themes are available for support:
(a) Exchange of information and dissemination of good practices in drug-demand reduction (e.g. interventions based on interactive teaching, conflict handling, coping skills; e-health intervention models for early detection, self-management and brief interventions; targeted preventive and treatment approaches; innovative reintegration and rehabilitation approaches preventing relapse; selective prevention approaches targeted at vulnerable high risk groups);
(b) Raising awareness of the health and social problems caused by drug use or which influence drug consumption - innovative targeting of young people integrated with prevention activities plus information and advice to enlist parents/family support;
(c) Support measures aimed at preventing drug use, including by addressing reduction of drug-related harm (e.g. emergency services training for staff working in recreational settings) and better use of informed treatment methods;
(d) Cooperation at local and/or regional level between public services and civil society (voluntary organisations and service providers) in the implementation of the EU Drug Strategy and Action Plans on Drugs 2005-2008 and 2009-2012;
(e) Monitoring, implementation and evaluation at local, regional and national levels of specific policy and programme actions under the Action Plans on Drugs
EUR4.2 million is available under the call with grants set to range from EUR75,000 to EUR500,000 per project at a maximum rate of 80% of overall costs. Eligible activities include joint programmes, studies, exchange of best practice, training, study visits, staff exchanges, and seminars. Projects will begin in the first half of 2011 and last 12-24 months.
