Collaboration
Community Awareness Campaigns focused on changing or building healthy habits take teamwork and collaboration. Watch these two campaigns below. Think about how they use collaboration to help highlight their campaign and send a message about their public heath issue.
#Gimme5 Campaign
Quit Vaping Campaign
Your mission in this internship is to create a community awareness campaign about heart disease. As part of that assignment reflect on a) How did both examples include collaboration? b) What is the power of working as a community and collaborating that can help us to achieve our goals? c) What are some ways we can collaborate to raise awareness about a public health issue? What are some initial ideas that you have?
Dr Singh
To:
Alright Dr. Singh. I think the interns are clear on their charge and ready to learn more about heart disease.
That's great. This is such an important issue that if we start early we can help many people reduce their risk.
Agreed! But first we have to learn more about the problem. What causes heart disease and why is it so common.
Yes but first let's give the interns a chance to reflect on their goals in this project and what they hope to learn.
That's a good idea. This way each person can make a personal connection to this project.
Heart Disease might seem like the sexiest topic but it matters and it's important to know why you are doing this internship.
Agreed! We want this internship to be as powerful and personal as possible.
Interns, Spend some time now in your mission log to reflect on this project, goals you want to set and what you hope to get out of this internship. I'll look forward to reading through each of your reflections and making sure you get the most out of this experience.
