On Wednesday, G30 delivered a powerful Presentation of Learning, hosting a public health conference titled “Liquid Courage or Liquid Poison?” that left the audience questioning what more they can do to protect the health of their community.
The afternoon opened with a stirring keynote speech. Students combined their learning into a passionate call to arms, urging every person in the room to take an active stand for the health of their community. This was followed by a rigorous Q&A session with a panel of experts, where students tackled complex regional issues, such as: “How can we fundamentally change the drinking culture in the North East?”
A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of the G30 final products: ten professionally designed leaflets. These leaflets will be combined into official leaflets that will be used by Positive Futures, a vital drug and alcohol service in Gateshead.
The conference culminated with a presentation of the students’ primary research. Their survey findings revealed a striking consensus: 100% of guests agreed that the government is currently failing to do enough to regulate the availability of cheap, high-percentage alcohol.
Well done, G30! A truly professional and thought provoking Public Health Conference.
