IPLyC Misiones' responsible gambling programme reportedly held prevention talks for pupils in Oberá and Puerto Iguazú, Argentina. The agency's school visits are intended to raise awareness of underage gambling prevention.
At EPET 3 “Polonia”, the programme met fifth-year pupils to conclude the short-film contest “Reflejos en el azar, cortometrajes para la reflexión III”. The school received the creativity prize for its film “El efecto espejismo”. IPLyC representatives discussed the school's entry with pupils to encourage reflection on preventing betting by under-18s. Films by the other winning schools were screened: “Decisión Equivocada” by Escuela Agrotécnica Número 3601 in San Antonio and “Un Clic más” by Instituto Línea Cuchilla in Ruiz de Montoya.
A talk was held for third-, fourth- and fifth-year pupils at BOP 105. IPLyC gave addiction-prevention talks to more than 200 pupils at BOP 23 “Demetrio Koropeski” in Puerto Iguazú. It met sixth- and seventh-grade pupils at Escuela 200 “San Ignacio de Loyola” and Escuela Normal 8.
In September, IPLyC Misiones held teacher training on addressing adolescent gambling in schools. More than 1,600 teachers attended “Conectados con el cuidado” in person at the Centro del Conocimiento and online.
