The renovation of the building that will house the new headquarters and the International HIV/AIDS Awareness Education Center (IHAEC) near Antwerp is progressing.
The vision of this center is to be recognized as an up to the mark and global player that proactively reaches out to our younger generation. By using appealing, accurate and innovative prevention and awareness programs, DAA aims to minimize the risk of infection with the HIV/AIDS virus.
The mission contains developing and delivering up-to-date prevention and awareness programs which appeal to the young generation – mainly concerning matters with relation to sexual relationships and the related, possible consequences. This should, as a mental trigger, warn them and result in a downward trend of HIV/AIDS infections.
The program will contain the following aspects:
1. Train the trainer
At the Education Center, trainers who will deliver the training programs locally attend an extensive training course.
2. Education programs
Apart from the training programs (modules) delivered for the formal full training programs locally, the Education Center has different courses and supportive materials, including manuals, at its disposal which can be provided to interested parties e.g. separate modules, a shorter version, awareness brochures/flyers, introduction courses, etc.
3. Campus All-in-One
Specifically aiming at supporting schools and universities, the Education Center provides a full program/campaign that contains training (Instructor Led & eLearning), single point of contact, T-shirts, etc.
4. On-line coaching
For the recipients, the Education Center provides on-line support that can be consulted for feedback, questions and up-to-date information. The on-line coaching will also be available and accessible for organizations that are unable to follow the educational programs in the IHAEC itself or/and intend to launch their own awareness initiatives.
5. Knowledge platform
By means of a portal, the IHAEC provides a constant flow of information, facts & figures related to creating and maintaining awareness.
6. Events
Ad-hoc campaigns or events (concerts, fashion shows, …) to create awareness are also organized or co-initiated by the Education Center.
7. IHAEC Podcast
The Education Center hosts a IHAEC podcast to which youngsters (and other interested parties) can tune into and on which music, IHAEC campaigns, witnesses, interviews with artists etc. are broadcasted.
IHAEC will open its doors in the spring of 2010, the idea is to act globally by training IHAEC ambassadors from all over the world who will deliver the programs -in return- in their home country.
In order to make the IHAEC come to life, DAA is still looking for partners in order to accommodate our guests in the most comfortable and suiting ways.
DAA/IHAEC focuses on: ambassadors, guests, celebrities, young minded people who want to continue creating HIV/AIDS awareness and help control and prevent its spread.The renovation of the building that will house the new headquarters and the... more
