Objective

To educate the student poppation on how to consume alcohol responsibly.

Description

All FAGE members were invited to sign the Charter where they agreed to run prevention activities at the same time as student parties. The Charter also included a section on the promotion of a responsible drinking environment by adopting a price policy to deter alcohol abuse (such as offering free or low-price soft drinks and avoiding open-bar promotions).

Members were invited to apply for the quality "Responsible Student Party" logo.  Training seminar on how to implement the Charter “Organising a Responsible Student Party” and “Managing the Flow of Beverages” were held every year for leaders of student associations. 

From 2010, kits to help the student associations enhance their commitment as a signatory of the Charter were distributed. They contained: copies of the Charter; pamphlets with responsible drinking messages; stickers and “Responsible Organiser” bracelets and a “Technical guide for the organiser of responsible parties”.
