Frequently asked questions (faq’s) about alcohol and drugs

QUESTION: Why is age of first use of alcohol so critically important?
ANSWER: Kids who start drinking alcohol before age 15 are 5 times more likely to develop alcohol abuse or dependence than people who first used alcohol at age 21 or older. A study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine showed that 47% of those who began drinking before age 15 experienced alcohol dependence at some point in their life, compared to 9% percent of those who began drinking at age 21 or older.

What we do

Shows

Stories, songs, emotions. Serious scientific information on drugs and their effects.

San Patrignano has two travelling theater presentations: Ragazzi Permale and Fughe da fermi.
Both of them are starring young people of the Community who have left drugs behind and who want to tell their personal stories.

Debates

Every year, thousands of people visit San Patrignano. The majority are school children on class trips, but there are also visits from Italian and foreign associations. They are accompanied by people from the WeFree project who organize debates about drugs, social disease and other issues: talk to know better each other and exchange ideas.

WeFree Day

WeFree Day is our moment! Each year all of us at San Patrignano work together and organize this event where people come from all over the world to talk about drugs, social exclusion and other issues important to young people. Around 2000 students from all over Italy come as well, but we do much more than just talk! We have fun, we participate in theatrical shows, we get to know each other. It depends on us, and we want to show that a different world is possible.
