Let’s Discuss

This is a manual for a kit which includes a CD, DVD and guide to support group discussion among Tanzanian youth and/or adults around HIV and AIDS.

Specifically, it focuses on issues related to adult-child communication, cross-generational sex, stigma and discrimination, and faithfulness. The kit provides a collection of songs, dramas, discussion questions, and participatory activities that encourage young people and adults to discuss HIV and AIDS and identify ways to protect themselves and their communities against infection. Although the guide can be used as a stand-alone tool, the materials from the larger kit are meant to make discussions more lively and entertaining. Each item in the kit is designed to promote personal reflection and group discussion on how to apply what is learned in the participants’ own lives.

This package or materials is meant to compliment existing life skills and group education interventions and can be integrated into new or ongoing activities. The kit covers the topics of: 1. alcohol misuse and risk-taking, 2. adult-child communication, 3. cross-generational sex, 4. stigma and discrimination, and 5. faithfulness.
