Over 270 people took part in Friend Of EduSports November Awareness workshops. Peer Leaders from Falkirk Council Straightalk, Bankier Primary School  and Stirling Councils Street Sport projects enjoyed workshops led by Derek Keir and Lyson Zulu aimed at enhancing awareness of problems facing Zambias youths  and the positive work taking place to challenge the HIV/AIDS virus from further spreading. 

Understanding of Peer Education and highlighting the potential power of sport to translate important life skill messages was an important part of our day. The workshops included information on Friend Of EduSport/ EduSport Empowerment Programmes, Education through Sport practical session and a Chimpombwa making session where participants learned and practiced how Zambians make footballs from plastic bags.
