Gathering in person to advance informed and engaged societies

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. 

On the transfer, co-founder Victoria Martin expressed her pleasure to see this work continue under Wits' leadership, knowing that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction. 

As Wits, we honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades and look forward building from that strong base. This includes co-founders Warren Feek (1953-2024) and Victoria Martin as well as La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA), which continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com with links to The CI Global site. We are also eager to forge new partnerships and entertain new ideas as we consider how best to contribute to social and behaviour change in our rapidly evolving environment.

If you are joining the International Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) Summit in Panama, please join Wits and CILA on Monday, 22 June, to share your thoughts and suggestion for the relaunch of the Communication Initiative. We will be in Pacifica 5 from 12-1:25 for the Refuel, Reflect, and Renew Lunch Series: The Communication Initiative: celebrating a driving force for Communication for Social Change and the way forward. We will reflect on the legacy of Warren Feek and family in creating the Communication Initiative, consider the contributions of CI over the years and then turn our attention towards the future in this dynamic session. 

If you are unable to join us in Panama, we still want to hear from you. Please contribute your thoughts by following this link: https://redcap.link/CommunicationInitiative2026 or reaching out to ci_surveys@commint.com

Video Blog 1: ¿Cómo se establecen las normas en nuestra casa?

0 comments

El debate con los estudiantes de los colegios Santiago Pérez, Vicenta Samper Madrid y el Liceo Integrado de Zipaquirá, se centra en las normas, los límites y los acuerdos de convivencia entre jóvenes y adultos en casa. Diana pregunta: ¿Cómo manejan los límites en tu casa? ¿Cómo son las normas? ¿Hay diferencia entre las normas que les ponen a las niñas y a los niños? ¿Por qué los niños llegan al otro día y las niñas tenemos que llegar a las 12 de la noche? ¿Por qué crees que los padres tienen ese miedo de que a las niñas nos va a pasar algo y a los niños no? Diana resalta la importancia de los límites, tener el carácter para decir hasta dónde voy a llegar y estar consciente de que hay que cumplir unas normas.

Este segmento hace parte del capítulo 5 del programa de televisión Revelados, desde todas las posiciones. El capítulo 5 hace énfasis en las normas que nos ayudan a la convivencia. Tiene como objetivo, promover el reconocimiento de los Derechos Humanos Sexuales y Reproductivos de adolescentes y jóvenes.
