In Sibiu, the ‘Level Up’ project, initiated by Tineretul Social Democrat Sibiu, held a workshop to explore addiction as a multifaceted issue involving individual, familial, and social factors. The event focused on prevention, early intervention, and reducing social stigma. Following this, the ‘Spune NU. Rămâi TU!’ (Say NO. Stay YOU!) project was launched in Sibiu by Asociația de Bun Gust and Turnul Sfatului. Co-financed by the Sibiu City Hall, this program targets high school students through conferences featuring medical professionals and former users to address local data suggesting approximately 21% of 12th-grade students in the area have used drugs at least once. Additionally, in Dolj County, the School Safety Bureau of the Dolj County Police Inspectorate is conducting the ‘TU ALEGI DIRECȚIA!’ (YOU CHOOSE THE DIRECTION!) campaign. This program involves police officers engaging with students in locations such as Craiova, Rojiște, and Bratovoești to discuss the legal consequences and risks associated with psychoactive substances. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Romania launches student drug prevention initiatives in Sibiu and Dolj Educational campaigns in Sibiu and Dolj, Romania, are targeting high school students to prevent drug use and raise awareness about the risks of psychoactive substances. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romania-launches-student-drug-prevention-initiatives-in-sibiu-and-dolj ### 2026-09-02: Sibiu hosts ‘Level Up’ workshop on addiction prevention A workshop organized under the ‘Level Up’ project in Sibiu addressed addiction prevention, aiming to reduce stigma and promote community support and early intervention. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sibiu-hosts-level-up-workshop-on-addiction-prevention --- Cite as: Drug prevention initiatives in Romania.
