Timeline of the work

Drug-prevention and youth work — from the first lyceum lectures to supporting major school campaigns.

2012

Anti-drug lectures in Moldovan lyceums

Renat Besolov’s first public activity: a series of prevention lectures on the harm of drugs for senior students at Moldovan lyceums — N. Gheorghiu, T. Shevchenko and “Alecu Russo”. The sessions were built on personal stories and honest conversation with teenagers about risks and choices.

[ Format ]

Open meetings at schools with senior classes — no lecturing tone, in the form of honest dialogue.

2016

Lectures in the lyceums of Rezina

A continuation of the outreach work in Moldova: talks at three lyceums in the town of Rezina, reaching about 230 students. The theme was drug-prevention and helping teenagers form healthy values.

[ Reach ]

≈ 230 students, three schools in a single series of meetings.

2018

Support for the “Simferopol without drugs” campaign

Renat Besolov sponsored the prevention campaign “Simferopol without drugs”, which reached more than 5,000 schoolchildren. For his contribution to youth work he received a letter of thanks from the “Protect Children from Drugs” foundation.
