Hi everyone, I apologize for the repeat posting, but I wanted to get the message out that this webinar on creating and using fotonovelas is being broadcast tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2pm EST. Thank you, Fotonovelas: An Effective HIV/AIDS Education Tool for Rural Latino Communities Join us for a Webinar on August 31 Title: Fotonovelas: An Effective HIV/AIDS Education Tool for Rural Latino CommunitiesDate:Tuesday, August 31, 2010Time:2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT Creating culturally competent prevention education materials is a challenging task, but it is needed to ensure community members' self-identification of risk and adoption of healthy behaviors. Poder Sano, an initiative of Farmworker Justice, invites you to join a dynamic one-hour "talk show" featuring Rural Women's Health Project (RWHP) from Gainesville, FL as they discuss their experience with fotonovelas, a type of prevention education material. For 19 years, RWHP has developed novela-style materials co-created with community members. Using a community-based participatory approach, community realities are woven into the health messages. These materials are developed to complement the work of lay-health workers (promotores). In this webinar, we will address the qualities of effective fotonovelas and how they serve as a vital tool in the prevention of HIV/AIDS in rural Latino communities. By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: *explain what a fotonovela is and how it is created; * list 3 ways that promotores de salud can effectively use fotonovelas in their HIV/AIDS outreach work; * discuss the pros and cons of using fotonovelas; and, * explain how fotonovelas can be adapted to particular communities.
