Social Norms
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Bush Radio's Teen Town Meetings

0 comments
As part of their commitment to work with youth, Bush Radio has hosted a series of teen town meetings.
Communication Strategies
The purpose of the teen town meetings is to create a comfortable and safe environment for youth to speak out and to each other about sexuality, safe sex, informed choices, HIV and AIDS. These teen town meetings are a lead up to our World AIDS Day, December 1st, HIV-HOP education and awareness concert sponsored by Voice of America (VOA).
Development Issues
Youth, HIV/AIDS, Education, Rights, Political Development.
Key Points
Far too often youth are bombarded with safe sex messages that do not speak to them but rather speak at them. This series of teen town meetings is Bush Radio's effort to work with the youth, allowing them to share their knowledge and experiences with each other. In this open forum format, youth can ask questions and learn about sexuality and HIV/AIDS without feeling the pressures of grown-ups judging them or preaching to them. All teen town meetings were broadcast live on Bush Radio 89.5 fm.
