University Project kicks off!
SADD had the priviledge of training up 5 universities since the beginning of the year! We are so grateful for the continued support we receive from our partner universities.
Durban University of Technology – Steve Biko Campus – 29th March 2017
The Durban University of Technology Student Health Wellness Day was well-attended, and as usual the SADD table was very popular with the students!
Junior trainer, Mellisa Muchena, spoke to the students about responsible drinking, and the drinking rules they can apply to stay safe when they are out with friends.
It was also important to to stress the drink driving laws with the students, as almost 50% of them had licenses, but none were familiar with the legal limit or the legal repercussions of drunk driving.
University of Free State – QwaQwa Campus – 17th March 2017
University of Free State hosted a lively event for their annual Drug Awareness Campaign, and the event was well attended.
Junior trainer, Mellisa, spoke to the students about alcohol abuse, and facilitated activities with the students using the drunk goggles.
The counselling department that organised the event got an educational ‘University Drink Driving and Alcohol Abuse’ manual that they can use to implement programs at their institution.
Varsity College – Pietermaritzburg Campus – 15th February 2017
Varsity College hosted another successful Wellness Day, and SADD was honoured to be invited again as one of the organizations that interacts with the students.
Students were very keen to find out how they can drink responsibly and how to stay safe on the roads when they are out with friends.
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University – February 8th February 2017
The university hosted a successful wellness day event, SADD were happy to send the material they needed for the students. Unfortunately pictures are not available.
