This book presents an account of a cross-cultural project which explored the links between youth, culture and the use of alcohol. Young Minds was a web-based project in which young people in Denmark, the Czech Republic, Macedonia and Sweden participated through activities in their classrooms, through contributions to the project website, and through participation in a WHO conference in Stockholm where they expressed their views to Ministers. The Young Minds project took place from the initial planning periods in June 2000, through classroom work and collaborative web-based activity until January 2001, concluding with the WHO Ministerial Stockholm conference in February 2001, which was attended by some of the students who were able to keep in touch with their peers at home
