🏢 About the local organisation
There are many different projects for HIV/AIDS prevention in Berlin. The aim of their work is to provide information about HIV, STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) and the ways of protection against them. The projects are regularly carrying out information campaigns and prevention activities in pubs, partys, on the street etc. The workcamp takes place in the project manCheck, which works with the target group MSM (Men having Sex with Men). The main focus of manCheck is to provide information about HIV, STI (sexually transmitted diseases), the ways of protection against it and safe use rules concerning partydrugs.
💼 What the programme involves
Supporting the prevention project in their work and outreach actions (e.g. creating info-material, planning, organizing and conducting a prevention action).
The volunteers are being trained in the HIV and STIs prevention work by attending workshops and afterwards they have the possibility to accompany the prevention team in its work in the gay scene of Berlin. In addition, the volunteers will have the chance to visit and get to know the work of other prevention projects that work with other target groups (sexworkers and drug users).
