WSWM-Uganda Launches WSWM 2007 Project Cycle’s Excellent Performers’ Award
World Starts With Me (WSWM) project exhibition comes in Lesson 14 which is the last lesson of the WSWM curriculum. By this time, young people have gone through the 13 curriculum lessons of a complete Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) curriculum. The lessons all combine SRHR training with working on a computer or using only printed manuals or a combination of the two methods and group work.
The purpose of the project exhibition is to open up the WSWM to the general public. It is an opportunity for the young people to show the world what they have been learning, doing and making, the experiences and ideas they have shared over the months of going through the previous 13 WSWM lessons.
During the exhibition, young people are encouraged to use the materials they have already produced and to be creative with the materials they find attractive and useful.
This year 2007, WSWM-Uganda is moving to a higher level of WSWM project exhibition where two best exhibitors (1 boy and 1 girl) at each exhibition centre will be selected to participate in the National WSWM Project Exhibition competitions. The best boy and best girl in the National WSWM Project Exhibition will each be awarded with a computer.
