Welcome to the Stepping Stones community of practice! 

Stepping Stones is a fantastic Community of Practice (CoP) made up of about 900 members who are all passionate about tackling HIV and gender issues in their communities. Today Stepping Stones is used across every continent and has been translated into around 20 languages.   You can either click on the underlined links below to the right of the page, or on the tabs above to find your way round this site.

This website is for people who want to find out more about Stepping Stones, how it works and who can benefit.

It provides information on how to obtain the original Stepping Stones Training Manual and video as well as many different adaptations and translations of the Manual. We also provide details of individuals and organisations that are able to deliver Stepping Stones training.

Read testimonies  from individuals, practitioners, policy-makers on the impact that Stepping Stones has had on their lives and the valuable contribution it has made to address the global problems linked to HIV and AIDS in the world today. 

We also provide access to a wide range of resources, including books, articles, workshop reports, impact evaluations, practical training guides, DVDs and videos.

Please join our new online Stepping Stones community forum by clicking on the forum tab above and signing up
To order the original Stepping Stones training package (training manual and optional workshop film) and Stepping Stones Plus (CD Rom of supplementary manual) or Stepping Stones Revisited (DVD film of original community where Stepping Stones was used, 12 years on), please contact us

"For every worn, rain-splattered copy of Stepping Stones that is in circulation, there are thousands of people that have benefited from it.  This enduring manual has been passed around, copied, memorized and acted out in countless communities, who are hungry for its clear information and empowering, learning-centred approach to HIV and AIDS education.  As a result, communities have been mobilized, lives saved and hope restored."

Stepping Stones has changed so many lives… and its principles have been adapted to other activities… If there is a way for me to propagate Stepping Stones, I will do it because I believe in the objectives and results of Stepping Stones. Juan-Cristobal, Philippines
