Activities Conducted

The students of Yingli College performed a street play at each of the five venues. The play focused on myths and facts about HIV transmission, the importance of early testing, and support for people living with HIV. The interactive format drew strong engagement from audiences, making the message clear and relatable. It used a mix of folk elements, and dialogues to engage both rural and urban audiences.
