International Communication Campaigns PACE Stream - ICOZ202

This unit applies theories of development communication, social marketing and persuasion in the design of international communication campaigns to achieve planned social change. The unit aims to investigate how cultural values and assumptions shape communication methods, media choice and audience reception. Using latest research, students identify an area of need, and design a campaign plan using traditional and new media forms that can be delivered across cultures. Case studies of information campaigns developed by governments, non-government organisations (NGOs) and international agencies such as the United Nations are critiqued. Students have the opportunity to work on a real campaign with an international NGO when they enrol in the PACE Stream.
