KIRKLEES SCHOOLS EFFECTIVENESS SERVICE THE SHOW: Is a live wire, comic strip assault on the issues surrounding drugs culture and young people. It seeks to highlight criminality, impurity, health awareness and positive choice. Featuring a cast of hilarious caricatures, it provides a highly accessible atmosphere in which to deliver effective, relevant drugs education. THE WORKSHOPS: Are an immediate, accessible forum in which our audiences can explore further the themes of the show. Intensive small group sessions led by professional drugs support workers, precede a 45 minute quiz which sees the young people take ownership of thier increased knowledge and re-present it to thier peers in an engaging and hilarious contest, aimed at re-examination of the issues and the capture of the always mysterious "Prize of the Day". SUPPORT MATERIAL: Is supplied to maximise the effect of the project in schools. Our teachers pack contains five weeks of follow up material. Focusing on a range of substances, the pack extends the scope of the debate to include social issues, harm reduction and positive choice. POSTCARDS: Of favourite characters from the show are distributed to our audiences. These cards feature striking images complete with relevant information and messages. Each card also carries the National Drugs Helpline number for further information and support. This has proved to be an extremaly popular initiative within the project, a full collection is a must!
