DISCUSSING THE ISSUESThe works produced by previous finalists are a useful accompaniment to alcohol and drug counselling, education or information sessions. All the creative works entered into Play Now Act Now are created by young people aged 16 to 25 yrs and represents their responses to the issues surrounding the responsible use of alcohol and other drugs. These works provide a strong narrative perspective of the issues that young people see as pertinent in relation to alcohol and other drugs – how, where and why it is consumed, and what some of the consequences of abuse may be. There is no right or wrong to these stories as they consist of personal accounts and different views and opinions on the issues. Therefore previous finalists work seen on this website or on a Finalists DVD is a package of creative messages produced by young people for young people that aim to trigger thought, discussion and a personal assessment of the role that alcohol and other drugs play in their lives, rather than attempting to provide the answers. These works can be viewed in a range of formal and informal settings. In many instances the works will be viewed or read for entertainment in a private or public setting. However, it is also a valuable tool to incorporate as part of structured interventions or information sessions with young people, community members, families and colleagues. It is a good idea to view/read the material you wish to use before using it as part of a discussion or intervention. This will allow you to choose the best approach. If you have an audience of more than six people and you want to encourage discussion, you may want to divide them into smaller groups. There is no preferred way to view the material. You are the best judge. However below are some suggestions that may be helpful.
1. Viewing 10 or More Works As Part Of A Structured Session 2. Viewing Selective Parts As Part Of A Structured Session
