Online conference for and about teens “Through virtual to real”, organized by ICF “AIDS Foundation East-West” (AFEW-Ukraine) in partnership with ICF “Alliance for Public Health”, will be held on the 15-17 September.
For what purpose?
AFEW-Ukraine holds this Conference so that services for adolescents are friendly, systemic, and high quality, believing that prevention of HIV/TB/hepatitis/sexually transmitted infections must be effective and accessible to every adolescent, as well as be in line with international standards.
So far, Ukrainian legislation does not define the term of “adolescent person”. Therefore, the organizers are guided by the WHO definition that an adolescent is any person between ages 10 and 19. (official quote).
The approaches we will present at this Conference are equally effective for all adolescents, regardless of their social status, level of education, gender identity, or other characteristics.
Why online?
This is the second conference for teens. The first was organized in 2015 and was related to working with adolescents. It provided access to modern approaches and tools for professionals to be used in their practices. Materials and recordings from that conference can be found on the link: https://afew.org.ua/konferentsiya-2015/.
For whom?
For adolescents and professionals working for adolescents and with them. Presentations slotted in the agenda before 4 pm are mostly aimed at professionals, while sessions after 4 pm – at adolescents. However, there are no restrictions on attending any session you might get interested in.
How the Conference will be held?
The Conference agenda includes online broadcasting and demonstration of recorded sessions. The agenda will include explanation on how one can view the recording and join online broadcasting of each session. In addition to watching the presentations, participants will have the opportunity to talk to the speakers and to get to know each other.
