Approduction Lessons Spread in Latin America

In May 2006, as part of a UNFPA Latin America Regional Project, a workshop was held in Mexico. JOICFP taught Approduction skills and two youth representatives from Esteli Municipality, Nicaragua also took part with other youth from Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.

During a visit to Nicaragua as a JICA expert, Kaori Miyachi, Assistant Program Officer, JOICFP, together with the other JICA experts, attended a community event in Esteli organized by the representatives and others from the adolescent center.

Using techniques learned in the Approduction training, the health center members used drama, music and a quiz format to deliver reproductive health messages to around 120 people, even composing their own songs to motivate the audience.

The performances were well received and show how Approduction delivers what it means - appropriate production of health messages in any situation.
