| | Description | The project delivers drug awareness training to schools, youth groups and parents evenings. They produce a 'family fact file', a drugs resource which is free for all families with 11 - 18 year olds at school in Shropshire.
Choices also run CAPPA, an interactive drama workshop usually delivered in schools or youth settings. It can be run over a series of sessions or an extended session and ends with a live and/or video performance by the group. Participants decide on characters and a story line that includes a drugs issue that comes from their own experience or concerns and interests. This approach allows the group to cover areas such as character relationships, action and consequences and peer pressure, as they work on building on their ideas to produce a performance. A one hour 'CAPPA Cuts' interactive workshop is also available.
The choicesdap.com website has up-to-date drugs information, quizzes and games and contains an order form for family fact file and the CAPPA workshops. | | Staff Profile | | 3 part-time workers - a co-ordinator, a drugs education worker and a drama in education worker. | | Linked Organisations | | The project has links with the YOT and youth groups in Shropshire. |
