Session: Learning About Living: The Power of 160 Characters
Description
Learning about Living is a cross media program teaching HIV/AIDS prevention and sexual health to young people across Nigeria. The program combines an interactive cd-rom and website (ready for Classmate and OLPC) with a mobile phone question and answer service. The sms question and answer service has proved particularly popular with young people due to its anonymity and its quick turn around time and low cost. It is a simple concept but a particularly appropriate one given the subject matter and the availability of a professional counsellor on the other end of the line.
The presenter works for Butterfly Works, the developers for Learning about Living. Other partners are One World UK in close collaboration with AHI, NERDC, EVA, GPI, and MTN.
