JOINT EFFORT PROJECT (JEP)
A program to provide young people in youth organisations and groups with correct information on alcohol and other drugs. The youth leaders learn how to organise prevention activities for their members and are being trained to prepare a policy plan for their own group... The JEP project was started in 2011 in the region of Bruges and Damme by 5 Rotary clubs (District 2130, Flanders Belgium). Youth organisations who already participated are followed each year to continu with their policy.
Now, JEP is an initiative of 10 Rotary, Innerwheel and Rotaract Clubs, together with JAC (Youth Organisation) and the Municipal Youth Services of Bruges and Damme.
