Report for workshop on 4th May, 2012

Venue: PJ Catholic High school

Number of attendance: 36

Number of badges sold: sold postcards instead

Taking a class for school kids of different age groups was very interesting and amazing time, on the other hands, impressive and nervous time to me personally. Some kids already knew about HIV/AIDS. So it was easy to do workshop. But most of them didn’t know about some words (oral sex, full name of AIDS etc). Overall, the kids’ knowledge about HIV/AIDS was very good so it was no trouble to conduct the workshop. The kids were little bit shy at the first time. But they showed a lot of interest in the games and activities. The videos shown and participated in games helped in drawing their attention to us. Prithvi’s presentation and experience about discrimination to HIV/AIDS patients were incredibly awesome and enough to attract attention. To be honest, I was also touched by his presentation and I felt very nervous because I think I’m not ready to do workshop in front of many people in English.

On the analysis of the feedback form (which only 36 students had filled), the results state that:

30 students were very happy and liked the session, 5 students felt it was average and 1 student was not very happy with it. 34 students felt that they learnt a lot about HIV/AIDS and 2 students felt that their learning was average. 24 students felt that the games were a lot of fun and 12 students felt they were average. 35 students felt that the presenter (Prithvi) knew a lot about HIV/AIDS, while only 1 student felt that the presenter knew average information. 32 students felt that Prithvi responded very well to their question and 4 students felt that his answer was fine even though the kids asked him just one question. Finally, 26 students stated that they would like to attend another session, while 10 of them were not sure. But no one answered that don’t want to attend another session.

The favorite things for the students in the session were the videos, games, the presenter (and presentation) and they also enjoyed taking picture together. Most of students were satisfied workshop but some of them complained about serious of topics and video that was little bit short. Some of suggestions received were to show how to use condom (The teacher didn’t allow to show how to use condom), to show more video and playing more games.
