We all understand that youth are the future of tomorrow. The aim of the video is to show how even “singing and dancing” youth game can incorporate many types of learning, to call attention to what might be overlooked as signifi-cant forms of empowerment, and to understand and take advantage of the op-portunities afford as more deliberate learning environments. The aspects ex-plored are the skills and techniques required to be successful in the southern African context of disseminating valuable information to youth. The findings may be useful to social organization that hopes to carry out social work this part of the world.
The participants in the video are fostered in the Swaziland non-governmental organization Family life Association and also from their clients. The NGO is the main focus by which the video has been produced; the emphasis was specifi-cally on the youth program known as battle of the sexes.
The gathered material consists of the outputs made out of participating in differ-ent outreach programs organized by the NGOs (battle of the sexes) and video interviews as well as dairies.Key words; youth, sexual and reproductive health, disseminating information, empowerment, Swaziland
