Finnish initiative to tackle underage drinking
The Finnish Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks industry is cooperating with Youth Academy, a joint forum for youth and sports organisations, to distract under 18's from drinking by providing leisure activities. The opportunities programme is intended for those between 13 and 17 who have 'difficulties' whether with substances or the authorities. The programme offers the chance to repair a boat or build theatre scenery for example.
