A canyon area and abandoned village is used as a teaching resource with a view to further developing a new sustainable community on the site.

Zaragoza Teaching
I attended their Consumo Consciencia project for youth workers, the project aimed to introduce the methodology of harm reduction in the non formal education youth field in general and the partner organizations. It focused on harm reduction through educating young people in safe drug use to prevent overdoses, transferable infections and unhealthy lifestyles. We learned how to access clean drugs (including the dark net), access testing for substances, use equipment safely and be informed about sources, doses and counter indications to reduce risk.
