Writeshops - Tools for Development Communication
Paul Mundy and Evelyn Mathias have created an excellent resource on their website, Dev Comm, about collaborative workshops for developing communcation materials called writeshops. According to Mundy and Mathias, writeshops can can reduce the time needed to produce information and increase the value of the content at the same time. It’s a process for taking a draft and in an intensive editing and critique process - which can take from a few days up to a few weeks - come up with a final version. Sounds good to me!
To read more about how it works, visit the writeshop process page or read a short article about it. Mundy has also created a list of materials that have been produced as a result of writeshops, including some on family planning.
If you are interested in developing materials that document your work, you should also take a look at this excellent resource from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance - Documenting and communicating HIV/AIDS work (courtesy of One Source).
