Mobile Sex Ed
Posted on | August 2, 2006 |
Get your attention with that header? Next week I’m going to Sydney for a planning workshop about transmitting safer sex messages through mobile and online media:
The objectives of this workshop are to brainstorm ideas, plans and a project focused on how to better communicate to young people the necessity of safer sex in the context not only of HIV but more pointedly in regards to high levels of Sexually Transmitted Infections. Our problematic is situated within these elements: 1) young people’s use of technology, and preference for newer modes such as mobile telephony over traditional media such as TV; their logics of identity, or non-identity (eg, in terms of not identifying in sexual categories); cross-cultural comparison (PRC, HK, Australia).
It’s an important initiative I think, and I wanted to publicise it here in case anyone had experience with this kind of work that I could take along and share. I’m also wondering if there are readers working on projects which might share synergies with this in case we can pool resources and ideas. Drop me a line or a comment if so.
