Development action with 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

SummaryText
Everybody's Everybody is a musical theatre production from Spiraling Music Publications designed to raise awareness about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially focusing on the needs of children in Africa. According to the organisers, the musical is intended to be included as part of a month-long curriculum intended to raise awareness on the part of youth and the general public. In addition to raising awareness, the musical performances may be used as a fundraiser. The producers of the musical have developed this guide to assist with the production of the musical. It includes instructions, a script, scores, and the instrumental soundtrack CD.

Spiraling Music Publications works to bring world agreements to life through the experiences of students and participants. These projects are designed to be tools for teaching and celebrating ideas about global ethics and universal values in classrooms, assemblies, after-school programmes, youth groups, music classes, recreation centres, service learning programmes, senior centres, and camps. These materials are created for teachers, activity directors, singers and dancers, multi-media producers, and communities.
