“Before coming here, I had very little information and skill; but undergoing the course, I feel empowered and have a vision now to bring together young KAPs [key affected populations] in my hometown and help them learn as I did. I feel the responsibility to inform my community” -- a participant from Indonesia.
"Enlightenment is an understatement in this training course, not only for the participants but also for myself. As a youth facilitator, the training expanded my understanding about how to interact with people of different ethnic backgrounds. I learned that the problem of HIV goes beyond being a MSM, a sex worker, a drug user, or a person living with HIV. It’s because we are all young." -- Youth Trainer from the Philippines
The training is really youth friendly…using games…and it was really totally fun. Other trainings, they are often more knowledge, lectures and it’s really kind of boring…but with the activities it is fun but at the same time we were learning (Participant, male)
