Description of the Pledge

The International Youth Health Organization (YHO) will organise alcohol-free events and will prepare guidelines on hosting such events.

Recommendations will include substitute activities for events, which may normally include alcoholic drinks (such as networking and socialising events at conferences, etc.) with healthier alternatives, as well as promoting active lifestyles during events.

We all know that different events and activities are often based on alcohol consumption; YHO will work towards changing the current narrative on alcohol consumption as a ‘tool’ to socialize.

Additionally, with this pledge, we will promote alcohol-free events among our partner and member organizations all across Europe.

Expected measureable outcome

• The number of alcohol-free events we organize this year.
• The number of alcohol free events organized by our partners.
• The guidelines on hosting alcohol-free events with recommendations for substituting activities that may include alcoholic drinks (such as networking and socializing events at conferences, etc.) with healthier alternatives.
