Development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Feeling Yes/Feeling No - a video for children of Southern Africa

4 comments
SummaryText
A video which aims to equip children of Southern Africa with vital life skills. This video is aimed at teaching children of primary school age and is comprised of four parts:

Part 1 - Feelings: teaches us about YES and NO feelings and encourages children to say NO if the feeling experienced is a NO feeling. Children are also encouraged to share their feelings with someone they trust.
Part 2 - Can I trust a stranger: deals with sexual assault and teaches the child ways to avoid situations by using the three "stranger" questions.
Part 3 - Abuse by a trusted person: deals with this very painful situation. The child is encouraged to be assertive and to tell someone he/she trusts of the abuse.
Part 4 - HIV/AIDS and feelings: looks at ways of contracting HIV and supporting those who have been effected by the disease in one way or another.

This video is acted out by 3 local Namibian actors and is part of a continuing "live" programme that aims to cover schools throughout Namibia over the next 2 years.
