YOUTH VISIONING FOR ISLAND LIVING

Youth Visioning for Island Living is an initiative that aims to empower young people in small islands to make a difference. Supported by many organizations at the national, regional and inter-regional level, Youth Visioning seeks to build capacity among island youth; to give youth a voice in sustainable development matters; and to make positive changes at the local and national level.

The new 2012-2013 projects on HIV/AIDS have just been launched. Click here to find out more about them.

For a full list of Youth Visioning for Island Living projects since 2005, please visit our PROJECTS page.

Here are the results of some of our latest 2011 projects:

Grenada - The Blocko Project trailer

Brain Storm Productions in Grenada carried out a HIV/AIDS community outreach project aimed at reducing stigma and discrimination towards individuals living with or affected by HIV and AIDS using the concept of a ‘Blocko’.

A ‘Blocko’ is a colloquial word used to describe a street party where natives cook local cuisine outdoors with an abundance of food and music.

This concept was used to develop a series of twelve HIV/AIDS awareness programs that targeted young people in their own environments.
