Smashed Project – Breaking the culture of underage drinking

LIFE LESSONS: with Life Education Trust

In May we debuted the Smashed Project in New Zealand secondary schools. Smashed is a powerful live theatre show and interactive workshop created to engage students on the dangers of underage drinking. The show follows the lives of three young people and how they become involved with alcohol, demonstrating how it affects their lives. Afterwards an interactive workshop is held to encourage students to explore the facts about underage drinking and develop strategies for resisting peer pressure.

The Smashed Project is being delivered nationwide in 2019 with a tour operating from May to the end of September involving more than 18,000 students from more than 100 schools.

Smashed is live in 15 countries and this year alone will reach more than 250,000 young people around the world. Since its launch in the UK 14 years ago, Smashed has engaged more than half a million students with stunning evidence of impact and fantastic feedback.

Life Education has partnered with The Tomorrow Project to provide Smashed in New Zealand, and plans to present further tours in 2020 and in the future.

Schools we are visiting in August: Carmel College, Birkdale Primary, Rosmini College, Sunnybrae Primary, St Joseph's and Kristin Junior.
