On January 16th, 2022, WFAD joined the Global Forum for Teacher Educators at the panel discussion on “How to Educate People about the Consequences of Drugs and Strategies for Teachers to Introduce Drug Education. The live session was moderated by Dr Munir Moosa. The panellists were:

• Regina Mattsson (WFAD)
• Diana Joseph (Fourth Wave Foundation/Project Venda)
• Paul Mburu (Soberlife International)

Various discussions were held to provide information on the drug situation in each region, the need for prevention, and [prevention] tools for educators to include in their programmes.

The discussion questions were:

• How would you describe the drug situation in your region?
• How is prevention helpful and which strategies should be included?
• Do you think drug education should be added to the curriculum? Do you think it is a good strategy to aware young people about drugs? 
• Which role can teachers take in prevention strategies and which challenges are they most likely to face?
• Any message to the teachers, parents, and young people?
