In frame of the MTV SAF supported project, RROMA organized a new ToT from the 11-th till the 12-th of January 2012 in Hotel "San Niko"-Probistip.
14 members of RROMA were trained to lead the creative workshops in the High-schools of Kriva Palanka, Sveti Nikole, Delchevo Pehcevo, Strumica, Radovis and Stip. The majority of the participants were new members and were representing some of the new communities where RROMA started to work from June 2011.
Through various sessions lead by the elder members of RROMA (Merlin Jakupova and Miki Mitevski), who are also certificated trainers in these fields, the participants learned about HIV/AIDS, the different STI's, the process of infection and transmission and proper protection. The trainers, also used creative exercises to show them about proper condom usage, as well creative videos to get more familiar with the topic.
It is expected that all trainees will lead workshops in the new communities. After the workshops all of them will receive certificates and become trainers in this field.
Last year, RROMA organized its first ToT and 12 members got certificated. This year 14 were present and will receive certificates.
The dates for the workshops are below:
27.01.2012, Kriva Palanka;

A national competition for best poster/drawing among the High schools students with the theme “AIDS doesn’t know about discrimination” will be announced in February 2012. And Multicultural workshop for comic drawing with theme “AIDS and HIV prevention” will be held in March 2012.
