Abstract

This article presents a variant of the program for prevention of the use of psychoactive substances among adolescents, applicable in the educational space at the junior high school level (grades 5-7). The aim of the program is to raise awareness of the growing scale of the problem – both among students and among their teachers and parents; as well as to provide a practically oriented conceptual concept for its prevention. At the heart of the development is the emphasis on communication at different levels (intellectually, emotionally, cognitively) within a social group. The draft program is based on the conceptual ideas of the mutual learning method in the original developed by the team of Andrew Bell and Joseph Lancaster and later developed in the modern method „peers teach peers“, I apply in a number. In addition, the content of the program includes the use of various discussion and interactive methods in working with individual actors involved in the process. The specific methods have been chosen in order to achieve more effective results, taking into account the specific characteristics of the target groups and the wide scale of the problem. The program consists of several separate modules, each of which covers the work at a different stage – teacher training, parent training, student training. The use of questionnaires provided to the participants after the end of each stage is set as a tool for evaluating the efficiency.
