This conference aims to bring together communication practitioners to share experience and learn from each other. The conference will focus on how communication for change can support positive, empowered action amongst individuals, communities and governments for health, environmental protection, education, food security or gender rights.

Conference organisers want to avoid sessions built around power point presentations and offer sessions designed around story-telling, skills building, knowledge sharing and problem solving, placing the process of creative, engaged communication at the heart of the conference itself.
