Healthy Lifestyle Camps kick off in Jordan

February 2010

 

UNFPA Jordan and Higher Council for Youth (HCY) recently launched their joint project called Healthy Lifestyle Camps (HLS). Healthy Lifestyle Camps envision bringing together Jordanian youth, ages 15 – 24, from all over the country and teaching them about healthy lifestyle practices and sexual and reproductive health, as well as providing them a space for knowledge sharing, reflection and self-learning.  During the pilot event, the first of seven camps to be held this year, activities were energetic and interactive, including a treasure hunt and quiz night.  Y-PEER members played a special role by initiating youth lead activities all over the camps, providing them with information about sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention, and most of all by being good role models for their peers.

As one of the activities during this first HLS event, participants got to enjoy the beautiful weather at the beach, but it was not all fun and games.  Well, maybe it was both!  Participants had to find objects on the beach to build a person and represent the different systems of the human body.  Passersby were impressed with creativity of the group, who used everything they could get their hands on.

  
Y-PEER Jordan was happy to participate so actively in the project, and were excited to use this opportunity to showcase the methodology of peer education, and promote the network to young people all across their country.  Y-PEER will continue to be involved in this project as further camps run in the summer, and look forward not only to educating more of their peers, but to further expanding their network!
