["Take it"--a musical by adolescents for adolescents as a new form of AIDS education].
In the spring of 1992, young actors, actresses and musicians presented in Basel for their schoolmates of the 8th and 9th school year a musical on the subject of AIDS. The information content of AIDS prevention was communicated by means of feelings, that means, in an emotional way (and no longer in a mainly cognitive way such as the conventional explanations in the classroom). The performance by youngsters of the same age made what was shown on the stage more credible, and at the same time, contributed to the "otherness" by means of this instruction: not as usual from superiors to inferiors, but on an equal level. This project of a workteam from the Basel Board of Education and the AIDS assistance had a pilot character for the rest of Switzerland and because of this could not draw from experience of similar presentations. Accordingly, there are both several positive as well as negative aspects to the present realisation of the project.
