aidsfocus.ch Conference April 12, 2005 "... and one can dare to hope and dare to remember". Memory Work: Coping Strategies in the Face of AIDS The conference focused on memory work as an approach of psychosocial support of children and adults affected by HIV/AIDS. Annet Biryetega (Uganda), Jonathan Morgan (South Africa) and Noreen Huni (Zimbabwe) shared their rich experiences of working with people living with HIV/AIDS. Memory Work may take many forms, its the space to share, not the method. Working groups discussed options of integration of memory work in programmes of development cooperation to support ongoing efforts, e.g. to support ARV-treatment. Many participants expressed their committment to share the information and to promote memory work within their respective field of work.
