Communication, Agency & Power
An inside-out approach to development and communications.
Over six weeks, this practical course explores how the ways we communicate shape relationships, influence change, and redistribute power in social change contexts.
Through reflection, discussion, and hands-on practice, you will come to see communication not simply as a tool for sharing information, but as a way of fostering agency, challenging power dynamics, and building fairer approaches to change.
By the end, you will understand how intentional communication can strengthen relationships, support genuine participation, and contribute to transformative practice and you will have practical tools to put it to work.
