Partnerships, Advocacy and Communication for Social Change

UNICEF (2014), 35 pp.
"The purpose of this booklet and accompanying webinar is to assist UNICEF staff and our partners to understand the basic concepts of the many unfounded social norms, beliefs and cultural practices – what they are and how they operate – that are responsible for the many layers of stigma and bias that keep children with disabilities set apart and excluded from education. It will examine how questioning and changing bias and stigma-based attitudes and behaviours will begin to create the social change that is needed for children with disabilities to be embraced into a successful inclusive education system, and how this is achievable with the use of strategic partnerships, advocacy that includes self-advocacy and community advocacy and the principals of communication for development, as well as the latest communication strategies."
