Vienna — 23 December 2025 — Volunteers linked to “A Drug-Free World” Austria are expanding outreach in Vienna, engaging youth, families and educators through public information points and event-based activities.

Details were published in a published overview.

According to organisers, the Vienna activities aim to reach teenagers early, including news eu taxonomy at large public gatherings such as the Donauinselfest, while also supporting teachers seeking prevention tools for schools.
