Drop It Like It's Hot: A Sexual Health
Guide for Urban Youth

It takes skills to get young people to open up and talk about
what bothers them. More importantly, it requires skills to help
young people make the connection between their problems
and their behaviour. Most importantly, it involves skills to
create awareness that behaviour leads to actions that they
may regret and therefore engages the young minds into
thinking about how they can help themselves. This workshop
provides the skills through drama. Drama serves only as a
framework in which to facilitate the conversation, to confront
and draw out the issues and to provide a context within which
young people can relate and be heard. Drama enables and
empowers. Talk the Talk: Youth, Issues and HIV/AIDS is about
facilitating that awareness, that knowledge and that action.
Talk the talk, walk the walk.
