Development action with informed and engaged societies
The Communication Initiative
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.

0 comments

From Sesame Workshop, this is a digital destination featuring videos, games, and activities to inspire preschoolers and the adults in their lives to incorporate STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts and skills into their everyday lives. The site can be accessed via mobile device for new Sesame Street STEM mobile games. (In one game, children can manipulate a virtual spring to launch pieces of trash into Oscar the Grouch's trash can.)

For each of the below, educators can download a guide with "fun, hands-on activities that you can do in the classroom. Included is a family newsletter to extend learning at home."

  • Experiments
  • Sink or Float
