Background
Coordinators and key stakeholders from Cherepovets, Dimitrovgrad, Izhevsk and
Stavropol are being were convened in this third training session of the We Choose Life
Youth Against HIV AIDS Project to explore ways in which they can develop campaigns
that will address identified needs and gaps in current HIV /AIDS communications,
enhance HIV/AIDS literacy amongst key target groups, especially youth; “engage the
unengaged”; overcome obstacles and strengthen the reach and impact of current
prevention and treatment services.
This campaign development workshop builds on the Stakeholder and Youth Volunteer
Network activities to date; in particular the youth behavioural surveys.
The workshop will serve to help each of the cities finalise campaign plans and will utilize
data collected by each city prior to the meeting see campaign development
planning questions below. The three day workshop will be include sessions on
communications as a determinant of health, formative communication research, issue
framing, an advocacy framework , practical campaign planning exercises, issues
related to social marketing, working with media, media advocacy, and campaign
evaluation. There will be both lectures, group work and discussion sessions.
Workshop Objectives
The overall aim of the project is to reduce the disease burden related to HIV/AIDS
amongst youth in participating cities.
The key objective of the workshop is to assist each city stakeholder team to agree and
finalise plans for a youth focused HIV/AIDS communication campaign that will raise
awareness and stimulate healthy behaviors, choices and policies.
As a secondary benefit of this process the workshop aims to enhance participants’
capacities in health communications, communication related research, advocacy,
social marketing as well as working with media.
It is further anticipated that the skills developed for this specific project should be
generalisable to other key public health communication challenges.
Pre-workshop activities- Some questions to answer
Each city is asked to carry out a series of tasks that is aimed at collecting data needed
for effective campaign planning. Reach city will customize their own campaign plans
aimed at enhancing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment information, education and
public awareness (and supportive policies) by stimulating demand for information and
engaging and strengthening the capacity of health leaders, people living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and information mediators, e.g. health professionals, media, policy
spokespeople, NGO advocates, and private sector advertisers, to respond effectively.

Monitoring, Understanding and Influencing the Co-Spread of COVID-19 Misinform...Gregoire Burel
Correcting misconceptions and false beliefs is important for inserting reliable information about COVID-19 into public discourse, but what impact does this have on the continued proliferation of misinforming claims? How can we track their impact over time? What is the best way to inform individuals about the misinformation they share? Using more than 3 years of data collected from Twitter and fact-checking organisations, we discuss the relationship between fact-checking and misinformation across topics and demographics. We then proceed to show how the Fact-checking Observatory, a website that generates human-readable weekly reports automatically about the spread of covid-related misinformation and fact-checks can be used for monitoring such information over time. Finally, we analyse early results about the effectiveness of our Twitter bot in reducing individual sharing of misinforming content.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
