Rabat hosts conference on youth and drugs
2007-02-25
A conference entitled "Youth and Drug Hell" was held on Saturday (February 24th) in Rabat as part of the national public awareness campaign against drugs. Organised by several youth organisations -- including the Youth Observatory, the Forum of the young Moroccans for the 3rd Millennium and the Association Moubadara Al Wataniya, and in partnership with the UN Development Programme and the health ministry -- the event gathered some thirty young people from Arab, African and European countries. A documentary, Drug Hell, was screened during the event. Discussions focused on subjects such as AIDS and drug, the role of civil society and the media in sensitizing youth to the dangers of drugs, and the threats of drugs in the schools. (MAP)
