General objectives
The general objective of SUNFLOWER
project will be to generate, collect and disseminate good
practices, information and data on HIV/AIDS prevention methods
among young people that will be used by national administrations,
professionals and other parties from New EU Member states directly
acting in the project and that work in the field of HIV prevention.
SUNFLOWER consortium will identify
innovative strategies to promote safer sex among adolescents,
including those most at risk, including access to targeted
services, and improved awareness of sexually transmitted
infections and their prevention.
SUNFLOWER will be aimed at providing
strong basis for monitoring health determinants in this critical
field. Knowledge acquired through this project will be
disseminated above all in the New EU Member States: Bulgaria,
Romania, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic and Lithuania
representing the countries partners, which will be assigned some
of the fundamental project activities. In addition, the project
results will be disseminated in Croatia by our local collaborating
partner.
A further general objective will be
to create an European Network focused on HIV/AIDS prevention among
young people most at risk (men having sex with men (MSM), migrant
populations, injecting drug users, sex-workers, and others groups),
and to help them solving problems connected to their lifestyle
that highly turn out to be risky factors for the spread of the HIV
infection among young people. This idea to create a network
derives from the success of some years of collaboration among a
lots of partner cities, that started in the previous project
managed by ANLAIDS. All the partners (Regional agencies,
Universities, Groups of scientific research, and Associations) of
SUNFLOWER project work in the field of HIV/AIDS since many years
and have the necessary expertise to manage and achieve all these
objectives.
Specific objectives
1. Identification of best practices
among countries partner of SUNFLOWER project in the fight against
HIV/AIDS: it will involve not only project partners, but also
other local actors working in the field of HIV prevention. Each
partner will involve in the project implementation at least one
local actor of its country (e.g. Public Administrations (PA) or
NGOs). The list of these subjects will be available at the end of
the first project year. The best practices identified will be
published in a Handbook which will be disseminated among NGOs,
Public Administrations and other local institution.
2. Innovative European prevention
campaign: it will be produced by young people and it will reflect
their lifestyles, behaviours, ways of thinking, attitudes and
desires.
3. Transfer good practices in New
European Member states: the good practices tested in the Member
states will be disseminated in these countries considering the
local needs and the results derived from the analysis of the local
contexts. These good practices or know-how will be useful to the
PAs and NGOs working in the field of HIV prevention. The wide
experience of the partners from Member states will be transferred
in the contexts of the new member states involved in the project
considering their needs and constraints.
4. Experimentation of new prevention
models: experimentation of these new models among young people to
collect data, information and characteristics about the prevention
methods. |
