described on the individual websites and in the annual reports and newsletters of the Addiction Prevention Units, the Ministry of Education (BMUKK), GÖG/FGÖ and other relevant actors, as well as in previous reports on the drug situation and in the Best practice portal of the EMCDDA (see Bibliography). Furthermore, new strategies and approaches have continually been developed in order to optimise the quality of prevention activities and to take into account to a greater extent the specific needs of individual target groups and different settings. Due to the great number of activities at regional level, only certain selected examples can be described in this report. Other activities of the Addiction Prevention Units that are worth mentioning include network building and public relations work, (financial) support of prevention initiatives and organising further training events for experts. 3.1 Universal prevention For an overview of Austria’s universal prevention activities and the general framework of prevention please consult SQ25. Schools play important roles as settings of implementation. Here, prevention takes place on a statutory basis in the context of the educational principle of health promotion 7 . It is recommended that prevention measures at schools involve all stakeholders of the school community as well as regional addiction experts. On this basis, training courses on prevention and further training events are organised, teaching materials and projects are prepared and all stakeholders are offered practical assistance in planning and implementing prevention activities. These activities are primarily aimed at awareness raising and health promotion approaches in the entire system and increasing life skills among students. In the older age groups, often patterns of use are also discussed. In the reporting period, the Federal Ministry of Education (BMUKK) developed a new strategy, which, motivated by the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–14), combines environmental education and health promotion (BMUKK 2010). There are several commonalities between the two well-established fields of ecologic development of schools and education for sustainability on the one hand and healthy schools as well as health promotion in schools on the other (for instance, the themes 7 Health promotion, in accordance with the Ottawa Charter of the WHO, is understood as the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health, i.e., to reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. 18 © GÖG/ÖBIG, <strong>Report</strong> on the Drug Situation 2010
of diet and exercise or mobility) and they follow similar approaches, such as ensuring a good atmosphere at school and also integrating stakeholders outside schools 8 . By linking these two areas, projects across different school subjects may be initiated and promoted, and synergy, e.g., with regard to (further) training of teachers and heads of school may be developed. In Styria, prevention measures in schools are promoted by providing support for planning and implementing school projects aimed at preventing addiction, run as part of VIVID's PROBE programme for project-based prevention (VIVID 2010). PROBE projects have a minimum duration of one week and consist of several modules (e.g., basic knowhow on addiction and prevention). One theme is prepared in a workshop by VIVID workers in cooperation with the students. Theatre education continues to be an essential part of prevention activities in Lower Austria: the Addiction Prevention Unit and Team Sieberer rehearsed a new play for primary school students: Herr Anders (Mr Different), which was presented in February 2010 (Hörhan, personal communication). It treats the issues of excessive consumerism, the atmosphere at school, responses to conflicts, spare-time activities and friendship. As in previous plays, the performance is combined with an obligatory information event for parents and an optional educational conference for teachers. The trend to combine the prevention of addiction and the prevention of violence has continued (see GÖG/ÖBIG 2008c). The Addiction Prevention Institute of Upper Austria drew up guidelines for the prevention of addiction and violence, and a platform for preventing violence was established as an additional link between experts in addiction prevention and the police (Institut Suchtprävention 2009). The child and youth advisory office (KiJA) and the school psychologists' service are also represented in the platform. This makes it possible to coordinate the individual services for promoting life skills among school students. In the province of Burgenland, the project Los — check dein Leben (Come on — get a hold on your life) was started, which also combines the prevention of addiction and of violence. It has been run since autumn 2009 by the Addiction Prevention Unit, in cooperation with the police, KiJa and the Provincial School Board (Hausleitner 2010). It comprises five modules of three teaching units each and is implemented in the course of one semester. There are several sources indicating that the risk of developing patterns of addiction 8 For further information see www.dekadenschulnetzwerke.at (27 May 2010; website in German).
