SBCC Summit - Marrakech - March 30 to April 3, 2020

(Apologies if you receive below twice. We wanted to share with both the Health Social and Behaviour Change and Social Change  networks within The Communication Initiative network and platform process)
 

Many best wishes and a quick reminder of the 2020 Social and Behavior Change Communication Summit to be held in Marrakech, Morocco from March 30th to April 3rd 2020. Very much hope that you are able to attend and participate. Your insights, analysis and ideas for advancing the SBCC field of work will be of significant value for the success of this event. There is a summary introduction to the Summit at this link with further links to the Summit web site and registration form. 

800 people attended the 2016 event in Addis Ababa (insights here); 1,200 people attended the Nusa Dua event in 2018 (insights here); and, there is expectation of the continuation of that trend with a very significant increase in that number of people participating in Marrakech. 

A quick reminder of the main themes for the 2020 SBCC Summit in Marrakech:

 
1. Catalyzing transformational change on agendas of urgency - includes the urgent, interconnected areas of climate crisis and global heating; gender equity; community engagement and citizen action; health access and equity; and, humanitarian action

2. Future Forward - includes a focus on: understanding and engaging with evolving digital and technological innovations; developing and promoting a code of ethics for the SBCC field; identifying new theories, frameworks and methodologies; and, countering negative opposition, disinformation and fake news.

3. Connecting the Dots - includes exploring: optimizing our strengths for greater impact; connecting with new partners; and, collective action.

There will be Spanish, French, English and Arabic translation.

As above the summary of the Summit is here at this link along with further links to the Summit site and online registration form.

If you are interested in insights and knowledge from the 2016 and 2018 Summits in Addis Ababa and Nusa Dua can we suggest this collation of the knowledge shared in 2016 (with filters so that you can narrow to your areas of interest) and the draft declaration and online debate on that draft from the 2018 Summit at this link.
