HIV and AIDS

In 2005 Las Otras Voces developed the first step of the project Entre Jóvenes. Comunicación y VIH Sida. This project aimed to strength the exercise of the Communication Rights among young people.

This new project - Youth, Media and AIDS Prevention - is the next step in extending the reach of what Las Otras Voces has already done.

In this new stage Las Otras Voces will select and train at least three organizations from Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay which work with young people. These organizations will become nodes of the network created months ago. They will assume the responsibility to promote the network and to develop local actions linked to communication and HIV AIDS in their communities. In future stages, Las Otras Voces would contact and train organizations to become nodes in other countries of the region.

In addition to this, in this new stage Las Otras Voces will complement the book produced in 2005 with the production of one new pedagogical material in audiovisual language. Las Otras Voces will produce a training video linked to Communication and HIV AIDS. The nodes, just as others members of the network, will receive one video to use it as a support for its activities in the local field.



Finally, this new project includes the animation and actualization of the virtual network created in 2005. This virtual network will involve not only the organizations/nodes but also other 60 organizations from Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and other countries of the region such as Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. They are all NGOs, social movements and public organisms that work in permanent contact with youth in education, health and communication spheres.

Through this web site Entre Jóvenes the members of the virtual network will receive the following information and materials:

• precise and clear information about HIV AIDS and Communication Rights oriented to young people;
  
• pedagogical graphical materials and ICT tools to promote and support communication projects on HIV.

The texts included in the book Entre Jóvenes. Comunicación y VIH Sida –edited in 2005 by Las Otras Voces and UNESCO- will be the ground to produce these materials and tools.

Productions, provided by the members of the virtual network or other NGOs specialized in HIV AIDS and Communications.

This web site will be disemiante among youth, young professionals, social organizations, social movements, public organisms and the mass media. For this purpose Las Otras Voces and the organizations/nodes will plan together communications strategies in different supports –such as community and public radios, e-mail and internet.
