This is the second drug awareness seminar that the Consulate General co-organized with local governments, following its successful launch in Milan last year in collaboration with Vice Mayor Anna Scavuzzo.

Around 80 representatives of the Filipino community, including the youth, from Modena and the Emilia Romagna region attended the seminar.

The seminar featured four resource speakers who discussed, among others, the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol, driving and the use of psychotropic drugs, legal consequences of drug use, and services to support drug dependents and their families.
