Webinar #2 in our Webinar Series on Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) for Improved Agriculture and Nutrition
(learn more about the series here)
The second out of five webinars is designed to help practitioners understand why some people do not practice the promoted behaviours (the ‘barriers’) and what could motivate them to do so (the ‘motivators’). In the course of the webinar you will be able to learn:
- how to decide which behaviours should we promote
- how to research the key barriers and motivators to change
- which existing resources can make your research easier
You can look forward to plenty of practical examples, useful tips and resources that will enable you to apply what you learnt in your work. A substantial portion of the webinar’s time will be allocated to participants’ questions. The speakers include Petr Schmied, Archana Sarkar and Ann Jimerson (see their short bios below).
Note: To access this webinar, you will need to register and be logged in to your Zoom account. If you don't have a Zoom account, you can create one here for free.
About our Webinar Series on Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) for Improved Agriculture and Nutrition
(learn more about the series here)
The webinar is part of a webinar series running through the second half of 2020. It aims to help people integrate SBC effectively into each stage of their interventions, especially in the context of agricultural, food security and nutrition projects in low-income countries. Throughout the entire series, experienced SBC practitioners and researchers share useful guidance and inspiration on a range of topics, including:
- SBC essentials
- identification of the key barriers and motivators to change
- design of SBC strategies
- development of effective SBC messages and materials
- effective monitoring and evaluation of SBC interventions
All webinars are in English; however, recordings with French subtitles will be available shortly after each webinar.
The webinars are an excellent opportunity for people to gain comprehensive knowledge, skills and inspiration for facilitating behaviour change in an effective way. Therefore, we encourage you to share this invitation extensively with your colleagues and partner organizations, especially those in countries affected by higher levels of food and nutrition insecurity.
