Introduction: The "arRISKu MUGAN" project was designed by the authors, who are attached to the Psychology Applied Service of the UPV/EHU in 2010, with funding from the Drug Dependence Office of the Basque Government, MILDT and the municipalities of Irun, Hondarribia, Oiartzun and Hendaye, and it is based on the findings of the study "Consumption of alcohol and other drugs on both sides of the Bidasoa River. Diagnosis and proposals for action" (1). Material and method: Through the methodology of research-action, a process of social dynamization starts, which beyond realizing consultative valuations, it tries to create working groups that could take decisions that concern the cross-border space and the consumption of alcohol and other drugs, in their zones of leisure and free time. In the project there are involved professionals of mental health, young people and alcohol servers and owners, with the aim to reduce the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol and other drugs. Results: The selective prevention materials created were designed for their distribution in bars and nightclubs, and consist of a series of 9 beer mats with information in French, Spanish and Basque, on reducing the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol or other drugs. A full collection of these beer mats makes up a poster with a puzzle-type design. Conclusion: The project was conceived as a medium to long-term plan, with continuity over time, and needs the participation and involvement of the Institutions and the social partners in the area.
