Global Health Strategies engaged Newsworthy.Studio to design a gender curriculum and media fellowship on sensitivities and inequalities, within and beyond the male/female binary. The multidisciplinary and independently-held curriculum was developed after deep research and includes modules on labour; sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice; financial inclusion; caste and ability; and healthcare.

The Challenge

Encourage communication professionals to think about gender as more than a genre

The Outcome

Customised college curriculum & media fellowship on the pervasiveness of the 'gender lens'

Educational Innovation: Empowering Through Gender Curriculum and Media Fellowship

By bridging Gender Studies and Mass Media Studies, a graded lecture course on the curriculum was conducted for 200+ upcoming communications professionals in four colleges across India. In addition, a media fellowship was structured to build the capacities of communication and development sector professionals, especially those serving vernacular communities.
