Symposium on engaging boys and young men - Rio de Janeiro

There is a global symposium on engaging boys and young men March 30th - April 3rd.  There is a focus on sexual health and the organisers are calling for abstracts.  You can find out more about the symposium at www.engagingmen2009.org 

You can apply to make a presentation, host a booth in the global village, display a poster or attend as a conference delegate - 15th january is the deadline for applications for presentations, global village and poster presentations.  Registrations close February 28, 2009.

Gary Barker, from Promundo Institute, one of the organising committee for this symposium spoke at Brook's annual conference - good sex, safe sex - last year about programme H, a programme working with young men in Brazil.  The work was inspiring and I am sure if you have the time and resources to go to this conference, it would be equally so.
