Helping schools
From chocolate to alcohol—from cannabis to opium. Drug use is a human phenomenon. Likewise, games of chance and gambling appear to be as old as human history and are found in every culture.
“To be educated in such a world means to be able to come upon drugs and gambling and understand them in their cultural relevance. It is to be equipped to engage with others about their meaning and value, to make choices that support one’s personal and collective well-being and to be ready and able to address the current problems related to both drugs and gambling in our world.”
