Normally, it is our business as SAfAIDS to make a lot of noise around young peoples needs, their sexual reproductive health rights are VERY important to us. How can we secure our collective futures if our young people remain at risk of early marriage, early pregnancy and STIs such as HIV. Before any storm, there is always a calm. Especially in material development!
After all the excitement of the
Book Sprint last week, we are back to the more mundane, but completely
essential task, of editing the document. The world is sepia toned once more, until
the next burst of creative light causes our surfaces to sparkle again, and
highlight the jaunty edges of material conceptualization, development and
design.
So let me introduce you to our
young writers support system. SAfAIDS Executive Director, Lois Chingandu,
SAfAIDS Deputy Director, Rouzeh Eghtessadi, and there I am in the middle,
Katrina Wallace-Karenga, SAfAIDS Head of Technical Services and Book Sprint facilitator.
Working with young people to
develop content designed to guide and inform them is such a rewarding task, and
an absolutely critical step in SAfAIDS Material Development Cycle. Did you know we can have up to twenty-two key
steps? We do this with each and every material we produce.
Watch this space!
We have a few steps still to go
before we can present the final Course Manual. Good things come to those
who wait (and to those who collaborate)! Cheers for now.
