Twenty-six representatives from primary and secondary schools in 17 provinces and 7 districts of the Town Council of Bujumbura attended the sessions. Two colleagues from Rwanda facilitated much of the training. This example of south-south cooperation is something which is supported by EI, because it gives unionists an excellent opportunity to benefit from eachothers’ experience and expertise. The programme covered a variety of issues such as HIV/AIDS and the immune system, sexuality and culture in Burundi. They also completed a number of exercises from the EI/WHO/EDC Exercise Book for HIV Prevention. Most notably, participants developed a training module on HIV prevention for the district trainers. The provincial and district trainers emerged well equipped with HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and skills to train their colleagues in HIV prevention in their province/district via the cascade training system.
