Valentine's Day Street Action in Warsaw

On 14th February, Valentine's Day, my group of youth educators organized a street action in the center of Warsaw. We wanted to increase HIV/AIDS awareness among young people. We managed to find a sponsor who gave us 700 condoms for distribution and the national prevention center gave us 300 more. Our plan was to involve passers-by in our action by giving them pink pieces of paper to write their slogans concerning the topic. We hung these slogans on the line behind us. People who wished received pink baloons from us on which they could also write. Our volunteers distributed leaflets and condoms and encouraged people to e-mail us if they shoud have personal questions. Quickly leaflets and consoms ran out as many people were interested. The funny thing was that next to us Polish group of far-right youth had their own action and they are not very friendly. They rejected our consoms saying they don't use them and shouted some nasty comments at us. Overall we managed to get some media attention - there was press, radio and television.
