The WHO Faith Network hosts the first webinar in a series documenting existing communication resources and tools that can be repurposed for different health emergencies.
Language is a cross-cutting issue to reach everyone. But it is more than translation. Join us for this discussion on the importance of language: understanding local barriers and determinants, the contextualization of content, and the role faith and culture plays in sharing and understanding information.
Speakers:
Paul Frank, PhD, Director of Professional Service Engagement, SIL International
Mark Mutai, Senior Programme Effectiveness Manager, World Vision International, Sierra Leone
Catherine Young, PhD, Director, Global Language and Development Services, SIL International
Sophia Nthenda, Deputy Executive Director and Coordinator, Women of Faith Peace Building Network, Malawi
Dr Robert Phiri, Executive Director, Malawi Public Affairs Committee (Religions for Peace in Malawi)
Q&A
Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions during the webinar through Zoom's "Q&A" feature during the discussion.
