Abstract
This chapter examines the experiences of both the lecturer and the students in a HIV/AIDS education performance project, at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), during the winter months3 of 2009. The discussion is presented as a reflective discussion of the process, and the learning that took place for both lecturer4 and students. Data used to support this discussion was gathered through questionnaires and reflection papers written by students, my own classroom notes and observations, and informal discussions with other stakeholders involved in the project.
