Social media and multiple digital communication platforms have changed the media landscape. These changes in media technology have also actively strengthened the role of media in shaping the development discourse today. In our MA Development programme, students learn the theories and debates within the field of sociology, ecology, history of development from several vantage points. Yet, it is also imperative for students of Development to understand how to communicate development debates and policies to communities, their interlocutors and other relevant actors. This course will concentrate not only on ideas and concepts but also how students can learn the skills and mediums to convey them. With new and unseen challenges in our everyday lives, this course allows students to comprehend the limits and possibilities of advocacy communication projects, the role of local actors, non-profit sectors etc. As future development practitioners and fieldworkers, students will acquire knowledge on effective communication strategies to gather data and engage in public campaigns. This course will help them to have a better understanding on how to identify and target a select audience, use the apt medium and language to communicate development projects
