New Vision (Kampala) - November 29, 2006
Emmanuel Ssejjengo
The organisation's secretary general, Augustine Omare Okurut, told journalists on Monday that the toolkit is a combination of the French manual on theatre and UNESCO's tool kit titled 'HIV/AIDS and human rights: Young people in action'.
Education minister nam-irembe Bitamazire will preside over the launch at the National Theatre.
Okurut said the kit will be used in English speaking African countries.
Okurut said unlike the populist approach theatre has taken in tackling HIV, the toolkit is based on forum theatre where all participants unite and act out what is affecting their communities.
Okurut said the toolkit is to boost HIV education for the youth.
