A suggested action framework for student teams and institutional coordinators, starting with the Youth Summit.
Days 1–30: Organise and listen
Nominate an authorised faculty coordinator and form a small student team. Agree on respectful conduct, communication boundaries and a realistic activity plan. Use trusted education resources to identify topics your students would find useful. Do not run health screening or collect personal substance-use histories as a student activity.
Days 31–60: Put the plan into practice
Hold an awareness discussion, a creative campaign or a supervised fitness activity. Make participation voluntary and offer a way to ask questions without public embarrassment. Invite qualified speakers where needed. Keep a simple record of the activity date, format and aggregate participation rather than a file of sensitive personal stories.
Days 61–90: Review and continue
Discuss what the team delivered, what participants found useful and what could be improved. Prepare a short activity summary with photographs only where permission exists. Choose one sustainable next step, such as maintaining a trusted-resource noticeboard or scheduling another educational session.
The coordinator’s role
An adult institutional coordinator should review materials, approve arrangements and provide a safe escalation path for concerns. Student ambassadors are peers who encourage participation; they are not counsellors, enforcement officers or investigators. Any support referral should be handled with care by appropriately qualified adults.
Recognition and reporting
The poster includes recognition for institutions and volunteers. Criteria and arrangements remain subject to organiser confirmation. Completing an enquiry does not guarantee an award, certificate or ranking. The campaign should publish only verified participation records and avoid unsupported claims about health outcomes.
