From June 26-28, the Honduran national HIV and AIDS teachers’ union prevention committee, coordinated by Rosario Avila (EFAIDS Programme Coordinator/COLPROSUMAH), together with EI, the EDC and CTERA/Argentina, organised an HIV and AIDS workshop at the headquarters of COPEMH in Tegucigalpa.
The participants, who came from all over the country, included thirty five educators from the three EI affiliated teacher unions in Honduras, namely, COLPROSUMAH, COPEMH and COPRUMH. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health were also active participants.
The workshop addressed the issues of EFA, HIV and AIDS education and gender. This marked the first activity under the EFAIDS Programme in Honduras, which was aimed first and foremost at establishing a cascading system of training on HIV and AIDS among Honduran teachers.
The event drew on the considerable experience of Roxana Rogalski, HIV/AIDS Prevention Coordinator of CTERA/Argentina. Another great example of South-South cooperation between EI affiliated unions!
