The Second High School of Yanji City is a Korean school with a total number of 1,900 students. According to the school, nearly 40% of the students in this school have their parents currently working abroad. On learning the above information, the office for the project of safe population mobility and HIV/AIDS prevention in Yanji City took their initiative to contact the school in order to conduct peer education on safe population mobility and HIV/AIDS education during the theme class meetings.
On 10 May 2006, the project office conducted a participating training workshop on safe population mobility and HIV/AIDS prevention in Korean in the multi-media classroom of this high school for 32 students from Class Seven, Grade Two for the first time.
At the beginning of the workshop, every participant put on a Red Silk Ribbon, which was a symbol of HIV/AIDS prevention. According to response to a questionnaire survey among the students, 16 of the 32 students had their parents currently staying abroad. The parents of one student even hadn't seen their child for 9 years. Parents of 9 students planned to go abroad soon. When asked about the ways through which their relatives abroad contacted with their family members at home, all the students said in concert that it was through the phone. When asked if they knew the condition of their relatives abroad, only 2 students said they did and they learned about it through the phone. When inquired about their last contact with their relatives abroad, some said last month and some responded two or three months ago, all counted by month.
Considering that targets of peer education this time were young students, the project office made appropriate adjustment to the contents of peer education according to the characteristics of the middle school students - active mind and strong consciousness of responsibility. In playing the game of signing their names, the students were surprised to see the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS. When a peer educator mentioned sex behavior and condom, shy and embarrassing expression appeared on the students' faces. In carrying out peer education in school, the project office paid more attention to bringing about the enthusiasm of the students in participating the activities based on their curiosity and thirst for knowledge. At the end of each game, the students would be asked to make conclusion by themselves.
The training workshop lasted two hours. At the end, all the 32 students had filled up the evaluation form. All of them thought they had learned knowledge on HIV/AIDS prevention and 20 students thought they had learned knowledge about contraception. All of them would like to talk with their parents about the knowledge they had learned at the workshop and affirmed the teaching pattern as being interesting and easy to accept. Many students also put forward their concerns at the end of the evaluation form.
