The Nova Scotia HIV/AIDS Skills Building Ceilidh is a forum that brings together people living with HIV and AIDS (PHAs), staff and volunteers in AIDS service organizations, health care practitioners, social service staff and anyone else who has a stake in the future of HIV/AIDS in Nova Scotia. Together, we create a safe space to learn from each other and address the challenges that we face in preventing the spread of HIV and responding to the needs of people impacted by it.
Where: Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia
When: Thursday, May 27th to Sunday, May 30th, 2010
The Ceilidh agenda will include a day of workshops for people living with HIV/AIDS and two days of concurrent workshop streams highlighting emerging issues in HIV/AIDS community-based work. There will also be networking opportunities, great food, massages for PHAs, and time for all of us to have fun!
The Skills Building Ceilidh is for you if you are a person living with HIV/AIDS, a health care service provider, a community worker, a staff member or volunteer in the community-based AIDS movement.
