Hello All!!!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming watch party hosted by African Family Health Organization (AFAHO) in Philadelphia
You are invited! So please share within your networks.
"Health Messaging in Africa:
Public Performance as Community Health Education," a Final Watch Party
with the African Family Health Organization (AFAHO) - in Philadelphia
In this fall 2020 course, students explored some of the most important issues facing youth in our current time, including online learning fatigue, bullying, and the intersection of poverty, COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence, through scripting, performance, and filming. Co-facilitated by theatre artists from the Liberia, West Africa theatre company B4 Youth Theatre - who reached more than 300k people during the Ebola crisis through street theater - this course considers how B4 Youth Theatre's use of dialogical performance contributed to critical knowledge, which iteratively informed interventions throughout their awareness campaign.
The co-facilitating artists, Silas Juaquellie and Hannah McKay, will share their firsthand experiences in a special keynote address! Enjoy the premiere of three unique short films developed in coordination with youth from AFAHO, informed by a communication for development approach. Penn MPH students share insights into this experimental ethnographic method and discuss
how they have connected best practices in health to lived experience.
Sponsored by The Sach's Program for Arts Innovation and the Netter Center at Penn.
