Worker Education Materials (Fotonovelas)

Poder Sano - HIV/AIDS

Drama, Testimony and Role Modeling

Fotonovelas as a Tool in HIV Education in the Hispanic Community.

 

Fotonovelas are an excellent tool for modeling positive health choices.  Dramatic, visual and culturally relevant, fotonovelas are a successful means of communicating health information and other social issues that are indirectly health related.[1]

 

Throughout the last 10 years, Farmworker Justice has partnered with the Rural Women’s Health Project, presenting workshops and developing community-based  fotonovelas that support HIV prevention, model positive behaviors and present realistic situations.

 

These fotonovela materials are downloadable, or can be ordered in print format.
