The Communication Initiative
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.

0 comments

As part of the initiative to promote gender equality in education, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Bangkok - along with the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI), East Asia and Pacific (EAP), and South Asia (SA) - invites entries from the Asia Pacific region for the Photo Contest 2009 on the theme of: "Reversing Realities: Seeking Gender Equality in Education".

This year’s contest theme focuses on the experiences in which disparities are reversed, and in which equality is achieved through education. Gender equality includes equality in the quality of education received, and in teaching and learning processes (gender equality in education), as well as in the opportunities available through education (gender equality through education). Photographs should depict gender equality in action in the contestant’s country. Photographers must be citizens of the country in which the photograph was taken. Photographs must have been taken after the year 2000.

The 13 contest winners will receive official certificates of merit. The winning photographs will also be featured in the UNESCO Bangkok and UNGEI (EAP and SA) combined “Gender in Education Calendar 2010”, which is to be distributed widely throughout Asia and beyond. The winning photographs will also be posted on the organisers’ respective websites.
