Evaluation of applications

2006-10-23T16:05:00.000+02:00

The applications we receive are being continuously evaluated. Once again, please note that this seminar focuses on the specific issues and problems in Central Europe. While we are very happy to receive applications from Africa or Central Asia, we are unable to receive colleauges from those regions. The contracts with our partners about funding and organisation make it impossible for us to grant scholarships to participants arriving from other states than Central or Eastern Europe.

Applications

2006-10-04T12:31:00.000+02:00

We are now open for applications for participation.
Please note that this seminar is organised for treatment activists, NGO's and PLWHA in Central Europe. We have been granted support from our background orgnisations to deal with issues and problems specific to the region of Central and East Europe.
This means that, unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications from other countries that those in Central (and East Europe).
We can feel substantial interest for the seminar, however, only a limited number of seats. Selection will be made on the basis of relevance of the given organisation (multiplier effect, reach of PLWHA, professional experience).
When applying, please include your CV or a description of your organisation.

Date change

2006-10-04T12:25:00.000+02:00

After some turmoil and organisational hubbub, we are back up here again!
First of all an important announcement:

The seminar will be held between 24 and 26 November in Prague.

This is last weekend of November, and not the first as originally planned. The reason is that the seminar would have clashed with an important conference held on the same weekend.

Announcement

2006-08-28T23:59:00.000+02:00

This is the original announcement for the seminar:

The Silent Epidemic –Treatment Issues in HIV/AIDS in the Central East European Region

While the HIV/AIDS epidemic has become “established” in the western parts of Europe, we can register a new wave of infections in the eastern and central regions. The free flow of people over the borders and the exchange of cultures have also brought about a new threat of more and more people getting infected with HIV in the new accession countries and the candidate states. Essential structures, NGO’s and treatment experience are absent or at best fragmented in these regions of Europe. The seminar organised by EATG in Prague aims at spreading treatment experience and awareness to NGO’s, activists and care providers in the countries of the CEE region. In some of the countries HIV/AIDS NGO’s are non-existent or on the verge of becoming dysfunctional for the lack of funding and initiative. In the framework of an intensive three-day exchange of views and know-how we hope to give new impetus to the work of patient organisations and treatment activists in the region. At the same time, we also want to learn more about the situation, difficulties, issues and questions regarding treatment and HIV/AIDS in the CEE area, so that this essential information can be channelled back to the European Union and its decision makers. Preferred participants of the seminar include people living with HIV, HIV/AIDS NGO representatives and HIV/AIDS care providers. Key topics of the seminar will include treatment, psychosocial support for PLWHA, quality of life issues, skills building for NGO’s, peer education.
