Last weekend New York
based anti-tobacco industry youth advocacy group Reality Check held a two day
event at Niagara Falls to celebrate the International Week of Action Against
Smoking in Movies in conjunction with some Canadian youth groups who met across
the border in Niagara falls Canada.
On
Saturday the groups came together with another youth advocacy group from Nigeria
and invited D-MYST to take part in an international Skype conference call where
each group spoke about the campaigning that they had done in their country
regarding smoking in movies and D-MYST shared their SmokeOff campaign and the
activity they have carried out in Liverpool with regards to smoking in the
media.
It was a really great and
unique opportunity for D-MYST to showcase their work internationally to other
like minded young people and of great interest to hear what other groups are
planning around the world!
