Abstract	The authors discuss that the curriculum design of the TARGET group is based on the life-saving metaphor to guide the program beyond what has been experienced in the past as a broken record practice about resistance to substance misuse and abuse. The first premise is that the personal capacity for residing or being resilient toward risk-taking situations is strengthened when the meaning of activities is developed in the context of drama. All students ignite a major portion of the TARGET curriculum seeing a live play entitled "I am the Brother of Dragons". The authors finally point out that drug programs, such as D.A.R.E and Pride, in combination with TARGET are finally showing some results and perhaps one without the other is not as effective. However, we know that one of the major reasons TARGET is effective is because of the drama activities that elicit more of emotional reaction from students than a cognitive one. (Author).
