Participation is an important dimension of development targeting sustainable and equitable outcomes. Effective stakeholder identification and engagement in all stages of development planning, implementation and evaluation is key to assure the effectiveness of change processes and the sustainability of impact. This course explores the principles and practices of participatory development communication through self-directed learning activities, interactive workshops, a group assignment including real world practice, and an individual case study. It will give specific attention to interpersonal and intercultural communication skills and methodological implications when applying a participatory approach in development planning, implementation and evaluation. This is a compulsory course for the Communication for Social Change field of study of the Master of Communication, and a suitable elective for students from any program who would like to learn about facilitating stakeholder engagement.
Participatory Development Communication aims to facilitate development and social change in complex and sometimes conflicting environments. This course explores the principles and practices of Participatory Development Communication to help identify and implement change processes. Taking a practical approach, it enhances your capacity to effectively design and facilitate strategies for sustainable change in multi-stakeholder contexts.

Task description
Learning about participation and facilitation can only be done effectively by experiencing various forms of participatory communication and reflecting on those experiences. You are, therefore, required to actively participate in and contribute to all class, group and online learning activities. Participation is assessed in two ways:
- Your attendance at and contribution to the workshops will be recorded (Weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11), while your participation in Weeks 7 and 9 will be covered in the marking of Assessment 2 (group project).
- In the weeks when each of the seven modules is wrapped up (Weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11), you will complete a written reflection in class. At the end of the workshop, you will be asked to reflect on and describe (1) a major insight that you gained from the module, and (2) how this insight can be applied in the context of your own (professional and/or personal) realities.
This assessment task is to be completed in-person. It evaluates your abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
