INTRODUCTION
Centre for Media Studies welcomes you to the CMS Conference on Communication for Social Development: Discourse and Practice.
This three-day event will host seminars, paper presentations, workshops and exhibitions to discuss and explore various aspects of developmental communication.
The conference will be of interest to academicians, practitioners and policy makers in areas of communication, environment, education, health and population, human rights and governance.
The primary objective of the conference is to create a platform for dialogue and sharing of experience. The conference also aims at raising vital contemporary issues in communication for social development.
THE CONFERENCE
Initiatives and interventions that use communication tools or methods for social change fall under the domain of developmental communication. Using ICT for education, creating a media campaign for polio eradication, research and advocacy for authorizing community radio, making a film on tribal rights, addressing gender issues through legal regulations are all examples of developmental communication. As such most government and non-government organizations are using developmental communication for creating desired social change.
The objective of this conference is thus to bring together these professionals working in diverse areas of social development. The thread binding them being that they all use some form of communication to further their agenda.
Attending this conference will help participants to know more about other initiatives and research while sharing their own. It will also provide an opportunity for networking with academicians and scholars across South Asia.
Papers are invited in each track of the conference:
* Environment and Risk Management
* Education
* Health and Population
* Human Rights
* Natural Resource Management
* Democracy & Governance
