Civic Education
2. Now read the text and list the aims Matto and Dali defined.
The Aims for Matto and Dali We are now in the final stage of our project research. We have consulted, we have checked, and we have discussed with each other. The impression that we have is that young people in Banville are indeed demotivated and some tend to fall easily into the trap of delinquency and violence, probably because the future seems grim to them. The presence of drugs makes the whole problem much bigger. Besides a very acute health problem, it stigmatizes the whole neighborhood and contributes to the rise in delinquency. And it has also brought about conflict in the families. We think that they should focus on raising young people’s self-esteem, offering them healthier alternatives and being clear about drugs. This is what we think that we can do best. When making our presentation to the board of Ban Uppa!, we defined the aims of our project as to provide young people from Banville with healthy alternatives for their leisure time and to prevent drug addiction in the neighborhood by raising their self-esteem their social participation and mental mobility.
