"TYCHO: A Global, Open-Access, Public Health Database"
Project TYCHO* at the University of Pittsburgh aims to develop an international repository that provides global public health data to the scientific community and policy makers. (*) Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was a Danish nobleman who is known for collecting astronomical data used by Kepler to formulate the laws of planetary motion.

Scenarios from Africa is an HIV/AIDS community mobilization, education and media process carried out with and for young people. It was initiated by Hubert Department of Global Health faculty member Kate Winskell and her husband Daniel Enger with African colleagues in 1996. Since 1997, contests have invited young Africans to contribute scripts for short fiction films to educate their communities about HIV/AIDS. The young contest participants are mobilized by non-governmental and community-based organizations and local, national and international media across sub-Saharan Africa.

The winning ideas in each contest are selected by juries and, following adaptation, transformed into short fiction films by leading African directors. More than 35 films have been produced to date and are available in over 25 languages. Widely broadcast and used extensively as an educational resource at community level, they are among the most widely used audio-visual resources for HIV communication in Africa.

You will find links to a small selection of Scenarios from Africa films below. To see and download additional films in multiple languages, visit http://www.youtube.com/user/scenariosafrica
