Prevention Antennas
The Prevention Antennas program consists of a set of collective actions in the cities of La Plata and Ensenada in order to solve socio-cultural problems related to health equality, gender equality, sexual and reproductive health, social inclusion, addiction prevention, violence, HIV / AIDS and STIs, among other problems. The program involves the social stakeholders as protagonists of the policies, from the planning stages to the execution. It seeks to apply a participatory education model, forming peer educators, to ensure that the project is sustainable. To this end, they form community mediators, who collaborate in Information, Orientation and Counseling Centers (CIOCs) that work in collaboration with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and are located in strategic places with lots of people traffic. Among the activities carried out in these centers are: the development of communication strategies for the call, guidance and advice on access to services, as well as the distribution of local resources of prevention (i.e. condoms), and the development of subprojects that include interactive activities designed to promote public debate and information on the issues addressed.
