For the training event we invited people from all around the UK to come to Liverpool and we gave them information on how to set up an anti-tobacco group like DMYST. We also showed them the different skills required to be able to get the message across in a productive and positive way.

DMYST members also conducted peer-peer training with the young people that attended and worked on issues together such as the lies and manipulations of the tobacco industry, tobacco and poverty and facts and figures of smoking.

Overall we enjoyed the event and liked sharing our experiences with other young people from across the UK. We think that the more young people campaigning to stomp out smoking across the UK the better!
