HIV/AIDS, me and my world

This workshop

The workshop below is a reworked version of the first session of a larger HIV/AIDS educator training programme. It can be adapted and used on its own or used as the introduction to a longer learning programme, such as the HIVAIDS programme offered on WE by Otago Polytechnic.

Aim

This workshop session is aimed at personalising HIV/AIDS while placing related issues and impacts in a broader context. (If you are using this session as an introduction to a larger HIV/AIDS education process, you can include aims such as introducing the learners to the programme facilitators and to the programme as a whole.)
