How did we start? • General research around equal opportunities. • Too much target groups • Too extended network • Narrow our search? • Our own region? • The capital cities of Belgium? • Some target groups? • Choose one target group? • Result: AIDS and equal opportunities in Flanders and Brussels.
Why AIDS and equal opportunities? • Something different: we always work with the same target groups; elderly people, people with disabilities, psychiatric diseases, physical problems … • Taboo around the subject • Misconceptions around AIDS • Interesting subject for research
