| Festival Description | The festival is the culmination of a nation-wide theatre competition about HIV/AIDS that engages students between the ages of 9 - 18 within the 590,000 secondary schools. The event brings attention to the country-wide threat of HIV/AIDs. The prevention of HIV/AIDS within the schools system brings the campaign to one of the most susceptible members of society. The initiative in Angola seeks to reach and educate the youth in a practical and creative way through their involvement in the festival. UNICEF and other social partners have launched the Global Campaign “Children and AIDS”, with a massive youth theatre and music festival that was attended by students, senior members of Government, NGOs, Civil society, UN and Donor community. |
