“ I realised that in my 13 years of schooling HIV has only come up now... after a class discussion where it became painfully obvious that the common idea amongst my friends was that HIV is only for "gay men and African babies" I figured it's something that definitely needs to be addressed because that kind of ignorance can be dangerous. ”

A Closer Walk

In October 2005 Y.E.A.H. launched the educational release of 'A Closer Walk', a film depicting the global AIDS pandemic. To complement and promote the education value of the film, a detailed educational study guide is available.

The study guide offers an introduction to teachers, parents and students about AIDS in the world. The guide includes activities that are designed to encourage students to explore the issues surrounding AIDS from a human rights perspective as well as providing basic factual information.

Specific learning outcomes make this guide simple and effective to use in the classroom. Activities have also been structured to complement components of the film that can be viewed chapter by chapter, making this guide suitable for a single class focusing on the topic of AIDS or a series of classes that can be conducted for a duration suiting the individual school circular and time frame
