| Description du stage : |
CENSUDI, a national NGO based in the Upper East Region of Ghana, is
currently implementing a pilot Women in Public Life project, which seeks to
encourage women to participate more actively at all levels in society. As a
part of their communications strategy, CENSUDI and RFD (Radio For Development)
have developed this gender advocacy campaign. This multi-media campaign uses a
combination of radio, drama, and supplementary printed materials, which seeks
to engage both women and men in a discussion about the role of women in public
life today. In order to avoid alienating listeners, the programmes and project
activities are designed in consultation with the communities themselves, who
are encouraged to explore their own notions of gender through debate and
personal reflection. To further reinforce this participatory approach, a
network of interactive Radio Listening Clubs is being established. The project
will have three major outputs: The development and production of a radio
series, the establishment
of a network of interactive Radio Listening Clubs, and an outreach training
programme using Multi-Media Resource Kits. In Canada While in Canada, the intern will be required to attend a one-week pre-departure training session organized by Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
