In the framework of SCPA Program work plan activities, PMT Coordinator organized a workshop on “The experiences and effective methods of delivering awareness campaigns in schools’ addressed to the ASP CPO Educators, on 19-20 December 2024 at the Security Academy premises. It focused on the analysis of the work carried out by the CPO Educators in terms of the delivery of the awareness campaigns in schools during 2023 – 2024 based on the CPO Educators online Forum feedback and the discussions during the workshop. In addition, the workshop served at revitalizing the role of the CPO Educators and focused on identifying the training needs of the newly appointed CPO Educators.

During the workshop the SCPA Program PMT Expert and Coordinator shared and exchanged the experiences with the trainees on the successful delivery of the awareness campaigns with youth in schools in general and especially focused on the training modules of the fight against Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking.

At the end of the workshop visibility materials/flyers produced by the SCPA on the aforementioned training modules were distributed to the participants to be distributed in schools during the period January – March 2025 in order to raise awareness with youth on these specific topics.  It was agreed that at the end of the awareness campaigns an analysis will be carried out on the work performed by the ASP CPO Educators focusing on the priorities , issues and challenges encountered during the awareness campaigns and their daily work.
