World Aids Day
World Aids Day is on December 1, and aims to raise awareness of the disease among young people.
Astley Sports College, in Dukinfield, will be holding an event which involves several hundred people.
On November 30, 600 people will hold up red cards to form a human red Aids ribbon, and 206 balloons will be released on the schools sports field.
The event has been organised and funded by the Information Shop for Young People.
Jayne Speat, the young people’s health development officer, said: "The event is about educating young people on issues relating to HIV and Aids. It aims to break down attitudes which lead to the stigma and discrimination of people living with the diseases. It's also about working in partnership with other services and encouraging schools to participate in issues other than the academic curriculum that are important for young peoples future lives."
The event will take place at around 11am on November the 30th.
