Event summary

This event is organised by IBIS, a Danish non-governmental organisation (NGO), and Positive Vibes, a communication initiative that has been piloted in Namibia by the HIV and AIDS programme of IBIS.

Positive Vibes:


  • Facilitates the involvement of people living with and affected by HIV;
  • Uses communication tools to allow people to understand better the needs of children living with and affected by HIV;
  • Allows people to personalise HIV and AIDS, and to use their personal knowledge and experiences as the basis for our responses to the epidemic;
  • Challenges the often defeatist and negative discourse that surrounds HIV and AIDS, and infuses our responses with a sense of hope; and
  • Combines separate approaches to create a process that allows change at a personal level to become a catalyst for change at a societal level.

Conference Programme:

  • Monday May 19 – Conference: An Overview of and Introduction to Positive Vibes
  • Tuesday May 20 - Interactive Workshops
  • Wednesday May 21 - Interactive Workshops

Post Script

The apparent non-response to our previous mails, expressing our interest in participating, and registration forms, apparently from you, has prompted the resending of this mail.

As we have finalised all preparations, we hope your response will enhance our preparations in making our dream of participating become practically realised.
