HIV/ AIDS Poster Presentation Contest 2011
3:00pm 21.11.2011
On November 21 at 15:00, an HIV/ AIDS Poster Drawing was held at the Kapan American Corner which aimed to recognize AIDS as a worldwide problem through visuals. The contest was coordinated by Peace Corps Volunteers in Kapan for participants from local high schools including students in ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades.
The project kicked off by teaching students how HIV/ AIDS affects people globally and more specifically in Armenia. Participants learned about the importance of awareness, how one can become infected, as well as about Americans afflicted with the infection and how they keep on living and working like any healthy person. They do not feel crippled at all.
After learning about the background of the issue, pupils began creating their posters. To inspire participants, a selection of the best posters from 2010 was displayed. However, students did not finish their works during the allotted time, and decided to finish the posters at home and bring them back to the Kapan American Corner for PCVs to take to Yerevan and be judged and displayed with the help of Armenian Red Cross. We hope that the posters created by this year’s participants in Kapan will impress the judges and be nominated for awards in Yerevan.
