WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: Day 20 of the free online C-Modules course on Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC)

Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Mary-Sanyu, and I am passionate about Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC). I have embarked on a life-long journey to champion for the growing practice of SBCC in Africa.

I am currently studying "C-Modules" -- a 6-module learning package on SBCC that was developed by C-Change and can be freely downloaded at this link: CLICK HERE.

Next year (2016) I will roll out free capacity building workshops for organizations in my community that engage in SBCC. I will transmit the knowledge I gain from "C-Modules" and other SBCC training material that I will study over the course of this year (2015). Having worked with a number of Non-Governmental Organizations and Community-Based Organizations in Somalia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya, I am aware that there is a great need for capacity building in this area.

What I studied today:

Today, I moved to Module 1 (Understanding The Situation) and reviewed the Facilitator's Guide.

What I learned today:


  1. I learned that at the beginning of each session, I should start by reviewing "Yesterday's Learning". I should use this time (approximately 30 minutes) to clarify confusing or "hanging" issues from the content that was discussed the day before. 
  2. I should post and review the objectives for this Module and explain how the day's schedule will accomplish these objectives.
  3. I should assign volunteer roles for the day (timekeeper, report team, and logistics support team).
  4. Finally, I learned that the "C-Modules" training material is embedded with great hands-on examples of activities I could use in a classroom setting to enhance participatory learning.
(I will discuss more about the Module 1's content in my next blog, where I will review the Practitioner's Handbook.)
