! 44 44 Lifelo long Learning in Asia and the Pacific In order to achieve success with this Hill Tribe educational project, the DNFE networks closely with other agencies in partnerships, such as those under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, GO’s and NGO’s. International organisations are also partners in the development of the quality of life, for example UNICEF, International Labor Organisation (ILO), UNDP, UNIFDAC, etc… Due to the great effort in improving the quality of life of the Hill Tribe people, the DNFE had the honour to received awards such as the NOMA prize in 1990 and ESCAP in 1998. Abstract t 5 Life skills for health and HIV/AIDS prevention, presented by Ms. Hiroko Tanaka (ESCAP, Bangkok) The presentation focuses on youth health concerns and the relevance of life skills approach, primarily based on the outcomes of the Third Asia-Pacific Intergovernmental Meeting on HRD for Youth, 4-8 June 2001, organized by the HRD Section of ESCAP. The main theme of the Meeting was “Integrated approaches to youth health: focus on sexual and reproductive health, prevention of substance abuse and HIV/ AIDS”. The presentation first explains the significance of life skills approach for ESCAP’s work in the field of education. ESCAP, as the focal point for youth for Asia and the Pacific region under the United Nations system, focuses on youth in its education-related work, with a particular emphasis on life skills to address their main health concerns: sexual and reproductive health and prevention of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS. The Dakar Framework for Action also includes “life skills education for youth’ and “education to combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic” as new development since the Jomtien. The presentation then explains what the life skills are and why they are important for health and HIV/AIDS prevention. It has become clear that information alone does not lead to behaviour change. In order for young people to protect themselves, life skills approach to develop their coping skills, ability to make healthy life choices, greater resistance to

The presentation illustrates this point by comparing the traditional approach and life skills approach and stresses the fact that, for example, for a person to be able to reach the decision to use a condom, s/he has to overcome all kinds of social, inter-personal and economic barriers. The presentation then touches on ESCAP’s response in this field. There are three major principles for ESCAP’s work to promote life skills among youth for them to protect themselves. First, ESCAP believes in an integrated approach to youth health concerns; second, ESCAP stresses the importance of understanding the needs of young people; and ESCAP looks at youth as resource and tries to work with young people themselves and organizations of young people. The presentation concludes with reiterating the voice of young people expressed at the Regional Youth Meeting in June 2001, in which they called upon the governments to provide full and realistic information and education for them to help protect themselves. 2.

Session 1 Community Learning Centres-the Malaysian Experience, presented by Dr. Ahmad Shah Noor (INFRA, Malaysia) One interesting characteristic about non-formal education in Malaysia is the fact that there is a total absence of any central co-ordinating mechanism for NFE in the country. Nonetheless, NFE programmes, carried out by the various government Ministries and agencies, always appear prominently in the context of community learning in Malaysia. In fact, the prevailing development success of the country is also attributable to the early and concerted NFE ! Abstract t 1
