Our new address:
The Constellation for AIDS Competence 
On 14 March, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance invited the Constellation to present the AIDS Competence Process to staff members in Brighton. They explored possibilities to work together to stimulate local responses and sharing of experiences within the Alliance "family". 
These are the words of a truck driver involved in the AIDS Competence Process in Burundi. "We learn from their solidarity and their determination to fight stigma and poverty." The process allowed the truckers and PLWH to identify their strengths and vulnerabilities and to act together.
2 and 3 May, BelCompétence will show the movie « Papy » during Africa Day, in Brussels, at the Espace Matongé (18-20h), followed by a debate. Facilitators will also show the documentary "l'Approche", to introduce the AIDS Competence Process in Belgium.
