The 2004 Summer Institute on Integrated Marketing Communication for Behavioral
Impact (IMC/COMBI) in Health and Social Development
**************************************************************************
http://www.nyu.edu/education/summer/imc/
This World Health Organization and New York University course focuses on strategic
communication planning for behavioral impact in health and social development. A core
principal of the course is that "behavioral results are the primary end-goals of health and
social development programs" and as such the course stresses that behavioral impact
comes with effective communication programmes purposefully planned for behavioral
results, and not directed just at awareness creation, advocacy, or public education.

The Technology of Performance Improvement: How We Get Results
************************************************************
http://www.popldr.org/Call-for-Sessions.doc
What works best and how to use it:
Do you want to know what works best in improving the performance of health providers?
If so, join us for a full-day workshop consisting of a series of highly-interactive concurrent
sessions to see how various projects have applied the PI approach.
Internationally-renowned guest presenter, Sivasailam Thiagarajan ("Thiagi") will get you
started with an energizing opening event. Then, in three consecutive sessions, you'll choose
from a wide variety of applicable topics and work closely with their cutting-edge presenters.
Later, you'll join small interest groups to crystallize the most interesting and essential lessons
learned and the most difficult "how to's." In the final, plenary session, you'll have the
opportunity to share ways to apply lessons learned and seek advice on difficult "how-to's."
CA staff, NGO staff, and USAID staff are welcome to attend.
Use the day to:
ú Share better PI practices
ú Identify strategic use of PI to enhance accomplishments of health programs
ú Network and identify areas of common interest and mutual help
Note: There is still time to submit a proposal to present an interactive session at this event.

2004 Entertainment-Education Conference
****************************************
http://www.ee4.org/
Entertainment-education, or "E-E," is the practice of using mass entertainment as a vehicle
to deliver public health or other educational messages. Radio shows, rock concerts, live
theater, local folk media, or television dramas are all forms of entertainment-education,
which has become a standard component of strategic health communication. CCP, one
of the leaders in the field, helps developing countries with accurate health messages, while
scriptwriters make sure the material is entertaining.
Titled "EE4: Community and Context" this year's conference will explore traditional forms
of communication including storytelling, songs, and drama alongside mass communication
approaches.

Member Request: Radio soaps--turning threats into positive outcomes?
**************************************************************
A series of "radionovelas" broadcast by Radio Sahlom and sponsored by Alternative
Development Program (ADP) in Peru has been so successful that the radio station,
producers, and actors are getting anonymous death threats. The Coordinadora Nacional
de Derechos Humanos asked to meet with the producer and the principal actor of the
radio drama when the media in Lima talked about the threats they received by the
coca growers in Tingo Maria. ADP wants to know if there is any experience dealing
with turning this situation into something positive. Has any radio soap opera elsewhere
in the world been able to turn threats in their favour by publicising them to discredit the
people who make the threats?
