Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kofi Annan and Nafis Sadik support global initiative Dance4Life
50,000 young people dance to celebrate their achievements in pushing back HIV and AIDS
On 29th November, fifty thousand young people will make a worldwide statement against HIV and AIDS. Connected live via satellite, young people in 19 countries will dance in unity and solidarity as ambassadors for Dance4Life. These young people want to inspire companies, politicians, artists and media to join them in committing to push back the global spread of HIV and AIDS.
Enthusiasm. Inspiration. Action. These are the positive attributes that make Dance4Life an innovative approach to stop HIV and AIDS worldwide.
World Famous DJ’s and artists perform for Dance4Life
Tiësto, George Acosta and many others perform for Dance4Life. Various famous artists and DJs from around the globe give up their time to perform during this worldwide event. Tickets are not for sale. The young people, also known as Agents of Change, have earned their entrance ticket by actively committing themselves to Dance4Life. By 2014, the year before the Millennium Development Goals must be realized, Dance4Life aims to have involved at least one million Agents of Change.
Quotes
“Dance is freedom, dance is exhilaration, dance is life. Young people deserve care, protection, condoms. Please don’t let them dance alone.” Archbishop Desmond Tutu
“Start Dancing Stop AIDS. Four words can have so much meaning, it’s something you can’t express but from inside you feel this is something that you should be doing now. You don’t need to grow up to make a difference; you can make a difference as a teen” Ashil Shah (18), Student, UK
“Dance4Life made me realize that HIV is not only for the poor and the under privileged in society. HIV and AIDS affects all of us, no matter who you are or where you live. As an individual there is something you can do to stop the spread of HIV. You’re not powerless. An HIV free generation is possible if we all work together in this fight”. Brian van Rooyen, (17), Student, Zimbabwe
“You have the power to make a change, both in your own future and the future of those around you. HIV is a threat to young people. Dance has the power to break down barriers and unite people in one cause: to stop the spread of HIV. Leo (21), Educator, Mexico
The language of young people
More than 33 million people are living with HIV or AIDS. People under 25 years old account for half of all new infections. Dance4Life involves this young generation and raises their awareness of how they themselves can push back the spread of HIV and AIDS. Dance4Life does this in schools with a personal, interactive and emotional approach, using the language of youth, their media, icons, music and dance to connect with them.
Challenging taboos
Dance4Life empowers young people to take action themselves and to challenge taboos around sex, HIV and AIDS. Inspired and informed during the schools projects, young people initiate their own prevention, awareness raising and fundraising actions. For example, they fundraise for HIV and AIDS projects, approach community leaders, write letters to politicians, organize exhibitions or do volunteer work with HIV positive children.
Nineteen countries
Originating in the Netherlands, the initiative is now active in nineteen countries: Germany, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Moldova, Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Spain, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, UK, USA, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
