Argentina Kickoff Participant 2009
Seeing the HIV[e]Education program for the first time!

Argentina

On September 8, 2009 the first course in Argentina kicked off in Buenos Aires, with 32 registered participants. The day was a successful intercultural exchange on all levels; from the partnership with Fundacion Huesped to the presentations by Pedro Cahn and our very own Debby Heuft.

The participants, who were mostly physicians from Buenos Aires, but also a few from Salta, Mendoza and Posadas, completed their training in the beginning of December 2009.  As a group they impressed us with their incredible professional attitude and their preparedness for the course and the closing workshop.  The entire program was a success and was the perfect start for our activities in Argentina.

And furthermore, we are thrilled that the first HIV[e]Education in Spanish was completed by this enthusiastic group!

 

"If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning."
(Carl Rogers, American psychologist)
