Social Behaviour Change Communication
‘Our Promise’ is the promise (commitment) of mothers, fathers, grandparents, extended family members, and communities to take action and work together to ensure first 1,000 day pregnant women and children are well cared for and have good nutrition. Our Promise is doable and feasible. If the promise is kept, families and communities will see visible benefits from improved mother and childcare, feeding, and hygiene practices, such as happier, healthier mothers and children.

400 GMS FOUNDATON: PLAY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF RESEARCH
From Professor Jeffrey Measelle:
At a time when scientific advances could be used to strengthen early childhood policies and practices, knowledge is frequently dismissed or ignored and children are paying the price. Healthy early development depends on nurturing and dependable relationships.
Culture influences all aspects of early development through child-rearing beliefs and practices.
Early childhood programs must balance the focus on cognition and literacy skills with comparable attention to the emotional and social development of all children, including those with special needs.

With the aim of enhancing the knowledge base of Child Rights for children and adult citizens in Lao PDR, the Child Rights Learning Network decided to produce a video to raise children’s & adult’s awareness on the child’s right to be protected from violence, with special focus on physical violence, its effects on children and positive disciplines examples. The creation of this media will support and complement the awareness-raising role of Laos NPAs on child rights and will contribute to a better knowledge of child rights to the target population. CECC was selected by Save the Children International together with ACDA to lead a participative process in preparation of the video.
You Can Stop It
An interesting approach to help give out more information about HIV infection, how to deal with it while at the same time promoting prevention. The film was well received in Laos and the story was appreciated throughout the community.
The use of puppets gave the story depth and helped to create more impact in the way it was received. VISIT THE BLOG PAGE HERE
Mentoring in the Heart of the Hospital
This is the story of success within the mentoring program in Northern Laos, by developing district level mentors who will build capacity within their own facility. The new mentors are being trained by Lao trainer mentors and these short films shows you how and why.
We wanted to make an educational film on mentoring to show the steps in a creative and visual way that will be combined with a training manual. These resources will be shared in order that the mentoring approach can be replicated by others in different geographical locations and across different professions.
