Training Works! Now Available Online
*******************************************
Training Works!...what you need to know about managing, designing,
delivering, and evaluating group-based training
What makes one training experience better than another? Effective
training can help providers of family planning/ reproductive health
(FP/RH) services to improve their performance. This handbook (now
available free online) summarizes the tasks that should be completed
at each stage of training to ensure an effective training course. If you carry
out these tasks, you will have a high-quality training course. Think of
these tasks as standards to be achieved or guidelines to be followed.
This handbook will be useful to anyone who has a role in the management,
design, delivery, or evaluation of group-based training for healthcare
professionals who are currently providing services such as inservice training.
You may be a project manager, an instructional designer, a clinical trainer, an
evaluation specialist, or a trainer who "does it all." Or, you simply may be
interested in knowing more about training to help you make program decisions
or participate in stakeholder meetings.

Scenarios du Sahel: Les jeunes contre le SIDA!
***********************************************
Scenarios from the Sahel is a participatory HIV/AIDS prevention project
for adolescents and young adults in West Africa. It is designed to improve
young people's access to appropriate information about sexual and reproductive
health; to help develop an environment more open to discussion of these issues;
and to promote responsible sexual behavior. It has mobilized a multi-sectorial
coalition, community support and involvement of young people. The centerpiece
of Scenarios from the Sahel is a series of short films by acclaimed African directors.
What makes the films so special is that they are based on winning ideas
submitted by young people through a contest. The Media/Materials
Clearinghouse has some additional copies of the French version of
fourteen of these short films from Mali, Cameroun, Senegal, and Burkina
Faso. If you work in a Francophone country and would like to request a
free copy of this video in VHS/PAL - FRENCH ONLY, please contact the
M/MC at mdadamo@jhuccp.org. Be sure to include your mailing address.
For more information on Scenarios, visit their website at
www.globaldialogues.org. You can also download a very useful "Replication
Guide" on the Secnarios website which outlines how to replicate this project in
your own country - http://www.globaldialogues.org/Replication.htm

PROFAMILIA Colombia / Youth Photo Contest
*******************************************
Greetings from PROFAMILIA Colombia,
Earlier this year, our network of youth peer educators from all across the
country took part in a photo contest on the theme of violence against women.
What the youth came up with was quite remarkable, given that they only
were able to use disposable cameras and had little experience with
photography.

diagrams, the manual is an essential tool-kit, packed with practical
tried-and-tested tips, examples, check- and resource-lists. It can be used
for reference, training or to aid the development of information services,
and is presented in a useful ring-binder for ease of reference and updating.
Key areas that have been updated and extended for the new edition include
computers and electronic communication, reviews of database software
packages, lists of electronic information sources and further reading, and
lists of resource suppliers and distributors.
The second edition of the Manual is available to download free from
Healthlink Worldwide's website at www.healthlink.org.uk.pubs.html It also
appears on Healthlink Worldwide's AIDS Action CD ROM. For printed copies of
the manual and for copies of the AIDS Action CD ROM, please contact

18th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion and Health Education
******************************************************************
Apr 26-30 2004
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Event Details: The aim of the conference is to assess the current status of
health promotion across the world and identify practical solutions to move
forward. The voices of Indigenous and marginalised peoples whose health
is seriously compromised by their living conditions will be given particular
attention. The theme of the World Conference is "Valuing diversity,
re-shaping power: Exploring pathways to health and well-being", which aims
to highlight the need for broadly-based partnership in health development if
the global changes and challenges are to be addressed through health promotion.
From the organisers... "Health 2004 aims to bring together the diverse international
membership of International Union for Health Promotion and Health Education
with familiar and new global partners for health promotion, in recognising that
the mobilisation of leadership and action among policymakers, field practitioners
and researchers is essential to drive and sustain the type and scale of advocacy and
action needed to achieve priority health issues, such as those identified in the Global
Burden of Disease Study, the UN Millennium Development Goals and in the
WHO 2002 Report.
This Conference will provide 'state of the art' information from the most creditable
sources across a range of health areas, health promotion, methodologies, population
groups and settings. It is anticipated that the World Conference will be attended
by approximately 2,000 participants, who will have the chance to engage with
highly qualified presenters, build new knowledge and skills and to network and
socialise with international and local practitioners, researchers, educators,
government representatives and ministers from a variety of portfolios and countries.
A wide range of topics will be addressed such as: tobacco control, HIV/
AIDS, indigenous and ethnic minority issues, mental health, physical
activity promotion, environment and urbanisation, peace and health,
governance and health, globalisation and health, workplace health,
workforce development, partnerships, policy forums, multicultural
health, school health, healthy ageing, globalisation, health and trade,
health promotion theory, and youth."
Abstracts can be submitted until October 31 2003.
