Putting the Me into HIV - Positive Vibes: Sharing the Learning (May 19-21 2008)

Location

Copenhagen, Denmark

Event summary

This event is organised by IBIS, a Danish non-governmental organisation (NGO), and Positive Vibes, a communication initiative that has been piloted in Namibia by the HIV and AIDS programme of IBIS.

 

Positive Vibes:

 

 

  • Facilitates the involvement of people living with and affected by HIV;
  • Uses communication tools to allow people to understand better the needs of children living with and affected by HIV;
  • Allows people to personalise HIV and AIDS, and to use their personal knowledge and experiences as the basis for our responses to the epidemic;
  • Challenges the often defeatist and negative discourse that surrounds HIV and AIDS, and infuses our responses with a sense of hope; and
  • Combines separate approaches to create a process that allows change at a personal level to become a catalyst for change at a societal level.

 

Conference Programme:

 

  • Monday May 19 – Conference: An Overview of and Introduction to Positive Vibes
  • Tuesday May 20 - Interactive Workshops
  • Wednesday May 21 - Interactive Workshops
