Really pleased to have been about to articulate our #ethics around #communications at @EngagingDev - everyday we challenge ourselves and those we work with to think about how we represent the people whose stories we tell. These are important (and ongoing) conversations.

[EngagingDev @EngagingDev]

Our ethics statement is now available.
Thank you to @PhotoEthics for leading on their #EthicsStatementCampaign. #EthicalCommunication is important to us, and we continue to advocate for accurate representation and the active participation of those whose stories are being told.

Lisa is currently taking leave to visit her husband’s family in Surin Province, in Thailand’s north-east, and has celebrated the Thai New Year, or #Songkran.

All of us at EngagingDev extend our best wishes to everyone who has celebrated a new year at this time.

Happy #IWD2023!

We are proud to work with women around the world who deliver professional, creative development and humanitarian communications - and from whom we learn so much as they shine in roles made possible by changing attitudes and digital technologies.

Ever been asked why you, or your project, doesn’t have more social media followers?

Our latest #blog post explores why you should focus on #engagement to measure your social media success - not followers.

What is 🐫 case?
Capitalising the first letter of each word in a hashtag.

For example ⬇️
#EngagingDev #SocialMedia

Why should you use it for #️⃣s?
#CamelCase is easier to read for people and screen readers.

More accessible comms 🟰 more inclusive comms!

Kicking off our new series #CommsKnowledgeDrop with our first tip ➡️ build & bank your content

Always search for an opportunity to build your content (photos, videos, stories) then, once captured, ensure you have a place to save it for a ‘rainy content day’.

As the holiday season approaches, we begin to reflect on the year that is coming to a close and our thoughts turn to our incredible clients and colleagues, thank you for making 2022 a wonderful and memorable year!

We wish you all a relaxing holiday season filled with joy 🎉

So glad I watched the livestream of @OfaGuttenbeil at #AAC2022. We need to listen.
We need to do better. We need to ‘demand supportive, equitable and decolonised relationships’.

[EngagingDev @EngagingDev]

When we think of #communications, we often think of words and writing. However, sometimes the most effective way to communicate is visual.
Our talented visual comms specialist @sayastella can turn the even most complex concept into a visual masterpiece!

The SDGs inform a lot of present-day development approaches and are important to be aware of in the coming years as we approach 2030.

What can the #tourism industry learn from the #humanitarian and #devcomms when it comes to taking photos?

Big thank you to @timmymuir and Savannah Dodd from @PhotoEthics for your insights.

🌏 Travelling this year?

#WorldTourismDay calls for us to #RethinkTourism!

Lisa recently wrote a blog post discussing #responsibletravel. Is it time to extend responsible travel principles to the #photos we take when on holidays?

Powerful writing and we the conversation #Australia should be having.

As my colleagues have worn black in mourning for the Queen, I've wrestled with asphyxiating… https://t.co/8950Z0rXzi

[Lisa Ritchie @_Lisa_Ritchie_]

A fantastic resource on #storytelling for #systemschange by @CPI_foundation, drawing on Australian contexts, but equally applicable elsewhere.

"We need to build capacity to understand what drives behaviour.. in order to address the challenges facing society today,” says @jwthwaites, MSDI Chair.

@BehaviourWorksA new free 7-wk online course with @unacademy does just that.
