Raising awareness for HIV/AIDS

This year, on or around World Aids Day which is on December 5th, we’re going to be having a big awareness raising event in our school. There will be two or three guest speakers, some information films, and some activity workshops and training sessions. It should be a great day and very interesting for all the students taking part (its hoped it will be an entire year group that its targetted at). HIV/AIDS is a huge problem in the world at the moment and will continue to be until the political will so act on the solutions comes about. The drugs companies are making millions from the pandemic.

We are going to have an all day live blog going, with invited guests and politicians, just like our last blogathon two years ago. But this year, we will be podcasting live from the event as well with interviews and opinions from the floor of the event. We re trying to find a way of streaming this live – we can do it through our school shared area but it would be great to reach a wider audiance – any ideas how we coud do this would be greatfully received !

Maybe its time for a school radio station ?
