AIDS and equal opportunities ENOTHE
Assignment 3 • Identify specific occupational therapy measures to make equal opportunities a reality in your community or country.
How did we start? • General research around equal opportunities. • Too much target groups • Too extended network • Narrow our search? • Our own region? • The capital cities of Belgium? • Some target groups? • Choose one target group? • Result: AIDS and equal opportunities in Flanders and Brussels.
Why AIDS and equal opportunities? • Something different: we always work with the same target groups; elderly people, people with disabilities, psychiatric diseases, physical problems … • Taboo around the subject • Misconceptions around AIDS • Interesting subject for research
Ideas to fulfil the action • Ordinary research: data will be lost place research on the internet • Publish document on internet • Website with database • Invite guest participant in a educational setting • Invite guest participant for open public • To organise an inquiry around AIDS and HIV
