Similarly, a media able to support informed, inclusive debate will also be critical to future successes." (Cover)

Enfin, la dernière partie du présent manuel, qui correspond aux annexes, contient les cours de théâtre forum dispensés par Prosper Kompaoré, directeur de l’Atelier Théâtre Burkinabé, durant “L’atelier de formation sur l’approche théâtre en matière de lutte contre le VIH/SIDA” qui a été organisé par l’UNESCO/BREDA du 10 au 20 décembre 2002 à la Maison de la Culture Douta Seck, ainsi que des scénarios sur le VIH/SIDA.
