Who Will Shape the Future of SBCC? Will it Be You?

The International Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Summit committee is seeking proposals from student teams for the SBCC Lion’s Den, a team-based health communication case competition that challenges students to design innovative, feasible and sustainable global health interventions.

Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop proposals targeted at real-life community health challenges and grounded in proven SBCC frameworks and theories.

The team with the strongest proposal and pitch will receive $5,000 to further develop their concept and implement a small-scale, six-month pilot project in their local community to demonstrate “proof of concept” and the potential for the intervention to be replicated and scaled.

Who will design the next health communication interventions that inspire and challenge fellow practitioners to see the field differently?

Will it be you?

This is an international competition and is open to students from around the world.

The inaugural International SBCC Summit to be held in Addis Ababa in February, 2016, will bring together the global community of social and behavior change communication (SBCC) organizations, professionals and researchers to advance the practice of SBCC in health. It will offer talks from SBCC field practitioners; a market fair of tools, methodologies, programs and research; skills-building workshops; and plenary sessions to consider the way forward in elevating the science and art of SBCC.
