Description of workshop

This two-day workshop will build on the 12 steps necessary to develop a communication campaign.  At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to skillfully work through an effective and efficient process with collaborators from within and outside their own organization to develop multi-level health communication campaigns.  This workshop uses a mix of presentations and hands-on exercises.  A number of community-based experiences identified by participants will be explored throughout the workshop.

Who should attend?

This new workshop is intended for health promotion practitioners using a team approach to developing campaigns who already have some familiarity with THCU's approach to communication planning.

Goals

To assist agencies and individuals involved in health promotion initiatives to plan, implement and evaluate multi-faceted, multi-level, and integrated communication campaigns.
To enhance participants' abilities to systematically and critically assess health communication products and campaigns.
To increase awareness, understanding, and access to a broad range of services and resources available through THCU and others.

Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

Adapt and/or create work plans to manage the development, implementation and evaluation of a health communication campaign.
Anticipate and identify solutions for common problems arising throughout this process.
Use excellent facilitation skills to maximize the planning groups' effectiveness and efficiency.
Use a variety of interesting tasks to enliven the planning process (e.g. collages, plotting media environments, THCU's message review tool, THCU's interactive workbook, "monster sheets".
