Intervention Strategies to Engage Young People in HIV/AIDS Education

Drawing on Augusto Boal's work which is informed by the Freirean approach to education, this study focuses on interrogating the SEDYEA's HIV and AIDS educational approach. It specifically focuses on how forum theatre can be used in a sport for development intervention like SEDYEA to engage young people in HIV and AIDS education. SEDYEA uses football's natural convening power to create a platform to convey its messages on HIV prevention and awareness through sports festivals and group discussions. It engages youth in an integrated approach to build skills that they need to protect themselves from HIV infection.
