projects let-it-hapyn
»Let it hAPYN« project (April 2013 - June 2016) aims at reaching a better overview of good and bad practices of alcohol intervention programmes that are happening in youth organisations or that are applicable to youth organisations in Europe.
This will result in a better understanding of the youth sector and allow possible evidence-based best practices of alcohol interventions to be implemented in other youth organisations. By including youth organisations in the process, the project is giving a permanent added value to the whole youth sector.
On the website, you can find the products of the Let it hAPYN project which can be useful especially if you are coming from youth organisation and would like some help with working on the field of alcohol, however anyone with interest in alcohol and young people can benefit from it.
