WHO Faith Network Webinar Oct 18 featuring CCIH Members: on Language in Health Emergencies

[Kathy Erb]

Hi All,

Apologies for cross posting.

The WHO Faith Network is holding a webinar next week featuring CCIH members from SIL International and World Vision International. This is the first webinar in a series documenting existing communication resources and tools that can be repurposed for different health emergencies.  Language is a cross-cutting issue to reach everyone. But it is more than translation. Join WHO and partners for this discussion on the importance of language: understanding local barriers and determinants, the contextualization of content, and the role culture plays in sharing and understanding information.

Oct 18, 2022 8:00 to 9:30 am US EST/ 12:00 to 1:30 pm GMT / 2:00 to 3:30 PM CET (Zurich)
