Improving Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health through Digital Storytelling

On August 23, 2017, the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative held a webinar titled, Improving Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health through Digital Storytelling. Participants heard about the experiences of young sexual and reproductive health champions who have used storytelling to mobilize others around the topic. Speakers gave tips for making quality and engaging videos and positively interacting with viewers.

HC3 presented on the FP INFOcus Guide, which provides step-by-step guidance for producing and promoting mobile phone videos that give young people the information they need to make informed contraceptive choices. Representatives from HACEY Health Initiative, a Nigerian non-profit organization, shared their experiences working with HC3 to pilot the FP INFOcus Guide and approach.
