The aim of the exchange was to bring together young people who were involved in using peer education to combat the spread of HIV in order for them to learn, share experiences and knowledge. As we brought young people together to explore the themes the project both led to the personal development of the participants (and their effectiveness of their work) and better intercultural understanding within Europe.
