After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

European Poster Competition - "Draw Me a Right!"

0 comments

The European Commission Directorate-General for Justice, Freedom and Security is dedicating the 4th edition of its poster competition to celebrating the anniversary of the United Nations’ adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Young people 10-18 years old are invited to form teams and create posters based on specific rights from the Convention. Teams of 4 people (10-14 or 15-18 years old) with an adult supervisor may choose one specific right from the Convention for illustration on a poster in A2 format.

The winners will be selected according to the following criteria: clarity of the message; graphic quality; originality of the work; and presumed effect on the audience. All national winners will be invited to attend an awards ceremony in the capital city of the country where the poster is entered. Ceremonies will take place during the week of April 10 2010. Travel and accommodation will be provided for four young people and one accompanying adult of the three winning teams from each of the two age groups, i.e., 10-14 and 15-18 years of age.
