Communication for

Social change

Prepared by:

Ivy Bliss D. Pabelico and Ma. Claire C. Daňoso


AB-COMMUNICATION ARTS
• Referred to as communication for sustainable social change and
development.
• It involves the use of variety of communication techniques to address
inefficient systems, processes, or modes of production within a specific
location that has not incurred major technological advances.
• Different mediums and approaches are used to help individuals among the
targeted society to acquire new knowledge and skills.
• This will allow communities not only to experience change but to guide it as
well.

THREE APPROACHES IN ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT


THROUGH COMMUNICATION:

PARTICIPATORY COMMUNICATION

• It adopt processes and interventions that generate dialogue and


collaboration; they are underpinned by the concept of empowerment and
expression of voice; and they are concerned with challenging power
relations and promoting social change from the bottom-up. In participatory
communication, however, this is achieved specifically through
communication tools.

• It requires a shift from a focus on communication as a dissemination or


campaigning tool, used to inform and persuade people to change their
behavior or attitude – to a focus on communication as an empowering tool.

CROSS CULTURAL DIALOGUE AND OWNERSHIP

• The ways in which people approach and discuss issues or disseminate and
process information can differ greatly from one region to another, and from
one social group to another. It is essential to try to understand cultural
characteristics and to encourage cultural sensitivity in the production and
consumption of communication and information initiatives in order to
facilitate access, participation and empowerment.
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND STATE-CITIZEN RELATIONS

• Defined as accountability that relies on civic engagement.

• The term is broadly used to refer to participatory governance practices,


which are closely linked to citizen empowerment and enhanced state-
citizen relations (Malena, 2009). The emphasis is on how citizens and civil
society can push for accountability from government officials and
responsiveness to public demands.
