Young People and Alcohol

EBC has developed a range of free downloadable resources designed to warn young people about the dangers of alcohol abuse.  EBC worked with clients of the north East Council on Addictions (NECA) to design the resources. 

The resources pack contains a downloadable game, posters, interviews and a powerpoint presentation - all created by people who have battled with alcohol misuse issues and know the impact it has had on their lives - and the lives of others.

If you use our resources in your classroom we'd like to hear from you.

The Language of Enterprise Regional Schools competition

C'est la!..... Hier ist es!..... Aqui es!

EBC has again partnered up with the Regional Language Network to launch an exciting new competition designed to inspire young people to study a modern foreign language.

The Language of Enterprise competition is seeing secondary school pupils challenged to work with a business supporter from the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism sector to develop a marketing campaign for their business supporter's organisation which will promote that business to international visitors.

The winning school receives a cash prize to spend on resources for its language department. Winners are being selected after showcasing their work at a regional event
