Community Outreach on HIV and AIDS:Teachers as Agents of Change
|
Teachers play a key role as communicators and educators imparting life-changing and life-saving knowledge and skills on HIV and AIDS in their schools and surrounding communities. Recognizing this fact, UNESCO office in Kathmandu in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Sports aim to build essential skills among school teachers in order to strengthen the education sector’s responses to HIV and AIDS at the school level. With support from UNESCO Bangkok and UNAIDS Nepal, in close collaboration with UNICEF Nepal, and with technical assistance from Oxygen Research and Development Forum (ORDF), UNESCO office in Kathmandu has adapted the "HIV
Preventive Education Information Kit for School Teachers" to the specific needs and context in Nepal. The kit was launched by the Ministry of Education and Sports at Hotel Orchid on 29 June. The ceremony concluded with a street theatre performance by ORDF Drama Team.
