Mobile Times: Nations, Communication and Social Change (London, UK)

May 20, 2019

About this Event: This one-day symposium provides a space for the interdisciplinary exploration of the complexities of nationhood and national identity. In recent years we have seen a rapid and deepening concern with the ways in which time and memory are implicated in processes of social and cultural change, particularly in relation to the role of media and communications technologies in personal, cultural and political domains. While research in this area has been dominated by narratives of acceleration the aim of this symposium is to take a more nuanced look at the various kinds of temporal experiences supported under the conditions of rapid change.

Please note that attendance is free but limited, and reservations through Eventbrite is mandatory.

1st Africa Social Behavior Change Conference (Nairobi, Kenya)

February 19, 2019

The Africa Social Behavior Change conference, the first of its kind, seeks to establish a platform that brings together practitioners and stakeholders to showcase theory, effective mechanisms, methodologies, learnings witin the African context. One outcome of the ASBC conference will be a road map of solutions and a shared value proposition to promote a thriving African society. This is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals which work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to assist people to make the right choices to improve life in a sustainable way in the decades ahead.  Through the conference, practitioners across sectors will understand the role of social and behavior change in accelerating achievement of such goals.

Why an Africa-specific SBC Conference?

The Africa Social and Behaviour Change Conference (ASBC) is timely for four key reasons;

  1. there have been numerous communication-based initiatives in the development sector across the African continent;
  2. the continent has provided a platform for the implementation of multiple approaches in diverse areas of development: health, governance, education, environment, economy generating great learnings;
  3. systematic study, documentation and sharing has been poor across the African continent and there is need to address and resolve this;
  4. several international SBCC conferences and forums have been held and it is imperative to put their findings into action, share progress and advance the key learnings based on the African context.

Southern African Communication for Change Conference (Gauteng, South Africa)

October 30, 2018

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.

Strengthening the voice of people with lived experience in campaigns for social change (London, UK)

July 10, 2018

Participatory Learning Event led by people with lived experience

This free interactive and participatory event will discuss issues around engaging people who experience poverty and inequality in a more meaningful way in campaigns for social change.

The event will be led and facilitated by people with lived experience from three organisations: On Road Media, Women for Refugee Women, and Revolving Doors, who are co-hosting the event with Trust for London.

Funders and campaigners are beginning to recognise the importance of having individuals with lived experience as key drivers for social change. However, handing over, or sharing power and control can be challenging and may often require rethinking and reshaping conventional models of funding and involvement.

The main aims of the event will be to:

  • Draw on the experience of (and hear from) organisations who have developed successful models of engagement;
  • Encourage organisations and funders to identify best practice in strengthening the voice of people directly affected by poverty and inequality so they can bring about more effective social change;
  • Identify effective ways to ensure that people are supported to share their stories safely, in the context of collective action.

Places are limited so please register as soon as possible.

Private sector involvement in development: What impact on gender norms? (ALIGN Report, 2018)

May 27, 2018

The private sector is becoming an increasingly important development actor. This ALIGN report, by Rebecca Calder, explores some of the ways in which the private sector is engaging with discriminatory gender norms and their impacts. It examines private sector motivations for engaging with gender norms, efforts to integrate women and girls into supply chains, and their outcomes, and gender lens investing as a means to support norm change activities. It also examines some private sector innovations that are being adopted in social change activity.
