Seminar: Co-creating programs to deliver positive community change

Seminar series organized by CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University

CTF invites you to a seminar with Professor Sharyn Rundle-Thiele, Griffith University, Australia.

"Co-creating programs to deliver positive community change"
Behavioural change continues to be dominated by education and policy actions, both of which alienate sections of the community. In contrast, social marketing centres program design, implementation and evaluation on community. Sharyn will share Social Marketing @ Griffith’s process and outline the key role co-design and other research techniques have in the design and delivery of programs that deliver changes in the communities served.
