Art against addiction: Students show creative messages in the Landau town hall!
In the Landau town hall, the exhibition "creative - preventive" was opened on April 30, which is accessible to the public until June 3.

This art project was organized by the House of Diakonie Landau House in cooperation with the municipal cultural office. Entry to the exhibition is free, so that all citizens are invited to admire the creative work.
The vernissage took place in the reception hall of the town hall, where the best works of art were awarded.

The exhibited works address problematic aspects such as addiction, dependency, consumption, alcohol and drug abuse as well as the consequences of smoking and gambling addiction. In addition, the works of art also reflect positive messages that encourage the young generation to take a reflected attitude towards addictive substances.
diverse topics and positive messages
The students have dealt with the topic of "creative - preventive" in art lessons. The focus is not only on the risks, but also on the promotion of mindfulness and avoiding addictive behavior.

The works of art can be seen in the Mayor's course on the first floor of the town hall, during the regular administrative opening hours.

In Berlin, various measures were initiated as part of the “Alcohol 2022 Action Week Action Week, which should also deal with addictive behavior and clarify. The artistic approaches aim to promote a critical examination of everyday use of addictive substances and to develop creative solutions. The Association of Art and Addiction e.
