Sober Choices Project: Discover Your Potential at Wroclavia!

In partnership with the Salida Foundation, we’re launching a project aimed at supporting young people in making conscious and healthy life choices. Our goal is to help youth better understand the risks of addiction – from psychoactive substances to excessive internet use or gambling – and to show how amazing life can be when it's active, creative, and addiction-free!

What’s coming up?

Meetings with Streetworkers Once a week, Salida Foundation experts will be on site to chat with young people, answer questions, and share knowledge about psychology and healthy lifestyles. It’s a chance to get support in a relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere!

Preventive Workshops Twice a month, we invite you to sessions that will help you understand addiction, manage stress and emotions, and even boost creativity and self-confidence. Extra sessions are planned during the summer holidays! Topics include:

• Assertive Communication – How to communicate effectively and with confidence

• Stress Under Control – Understanding stress physiology and learning practical techniques such as mindfulness, visualisation, and breathing exercises

• Emotions: Our Inner Guides – Recognising and interpreting different emotions

• Why One-Wheeled Vehicles Are Better Than Two-Wheeled Ones – Creative thinking workshops

• Psychologist, Psychotherapist, Psychiatrist – Who Does What? – Learn about mental health professions and therapy approaches

• Dunning-Kruger Effect in Practice – A look into social psychology and how people misjudge their own skills

• Pro-Social Skills Training – Four exceptional workshops on building relationships, supporting others, and becoming a community leader

Why is this important? Young people deserve access to trustworthy knowledge and safe spaces to talk about what’s on their minds. This project is not just about education – it’s a chance for personal growth, from assertiveness and stress management to creative expression. We want to inspire youth to choose healthy paths and show them they have our full support.

Bonus! Expect interactive games, quizzes with prizes, and educational materials – all in a welcoming atmosphere. The project runs from March to October.
