The project trains teachers and students on health, HIV / AIDS, human rights issues and prevention of violence by making use of intercultural communication and radio production.

Joint action between young radio correspondents and teachers has enabled:

-  Established a greater trust relationship between teachers and their students and a better understanding and mainstreaming of youth topics in pedagogical practice.

 

- Greater participation of different actors (students, parents, authorities and local leaders and residents of communities) in dealing with the issue of violence and HIV / AIDS.

 

- Involvement of 120 teachers, 1200 students and 56 young correspondents of 24 educational institutions in this project.

Through our Welcome Health program it has been possible:

- Better information on the relationship between violence and HIV / AIDS for the female and male audience, as well as for young people and adults in rural communities.

- Greater awareness of the symptoms of the disease, which is allowing overcome the "false fears" and "stigma" toward people living with HIV / AIDS.

- Increased incorporation of traditional prevention practices and those that suggest the official duties of health from STI and HIV / AIDS.
