C-Modules Course on Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC)

Location: Online

Date: Ongoing

C-Change and Ohio University launched the online C-Modules course on social and behavior change communication (SBCC) in two versions - self-paced and facilitated. Available at no cost to participants, the self-paced course is designed for journalists, researchers, students, and government and non-governmental organisation (NGO) health and development practitioners. The goal of the 6-module course is to develop and strengthen competencies in the planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of SBCC activities.

In the self-paced modules, participants work at their own pace to complete units by answering a series of questions, based on the materials and resources provided.  Thus, this is a flexible option; individuals can register on their own and are not tied to specific deadlines.

A minimum of 15 participants is required for facilitated modules.  Spaces are available only to organizations that register at least five participants; no individual registration is accepted. In the facilitated modules, the participants are guided by a university faculty member with experience in SBCC in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each module is scheduled for four or six weeks, with a fixed start and end date, and consists of several topical units.  These modules are interactive and tailored to individual professional interests.  Participants should expect to work 3-4 hours per week, including readings, short postings, and papers.
