ANYONE interested in knowing more about the complex and often misunderstood story of drug use in the city of Durban is encouraged to attend an immersion experience at the Urban Futures Centre at Durban University of Technology (DUT) on Tuesday, 2 April from 6pm to 8pm.

The immersion sessions follows a successful STORY Session where criminologist Prof Monique Marks spoke about the use of drugs in the city of Durban.

STORY Sessions is a live free public event that brings people together to share stories of intent and purpose. Their goal is to enable listeners to become intentional about living out their authentic selves in their own story.

Prof Marks is known as one of the most expert people in Durban working on the subject of drugs and is a close partner of the Denis Hurley Centre who will host the ‘immersion session’.

The cost of this engagement R120 and will include a meal.
