On December 16, workshops were held – Prophylaxis of AIDS.
\nDuring the 90-minute workshop, the youth were acquainted with the topic of preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS.<\/p>\n

Due to the subject matter, the “Spider Web” exercise was used, which, on the one hand, allowed for team integration, relaxation of tension caused by the new situation (workshops, trainer) and the triggering of workshop processes.
\nThe exercise itself makes it possible to observe the course of social interactions and the spread of the “invisible” – in this case the virus.
\nStudents had the opportunity to test their assertiveness (sales tasks carried out in pairs) and learn techniques to strengthen it. Assertiveness, in addition to maintaining protective measures (sanitation, disinfection, contraception), is a key feature in the prevention of infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Theoretical information was given during the discussion on the problem of HIV.
\nAs part of the summary, scenes were played on the following topics:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit to a tattoo studio<\/li>\n
  2. To arrange an HIV test in a laboratory or to order a test to be performed at home<\/li>\n
  3. Interview your partner about HIV testing before having sexual intercourse<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The implementation of the scenes made it possible to consolidate and use the acquired knowledge (how to take care of your safety in various contacts – beauty salons, tattooing, sex contacts).
    \nA very important element was the performance of the situation related to the test (how and where can it be checked? What to do next? Where to look for help?).
    \nThe final element was the game “Thank you, BINGO!”, In which students looked for resources in their peer group (who can listen? Who can support? Who can encourage?, Who can amuse? Etc.). Thanks to this, each student left the classes not only with the database of facts about the HIV virus, but also with the awareness that in case of problems there are people whom they can count on.
    \nThe workshop was part of the Colors of Life project – financed by the European Solidarity Corps.<\/p>\n
