We invite you to join a panel-led discussion on the why, how, and what of connecting through radio. The discussion will be led by 4 innovator teams -- Development Media International, Lively Minds, Ubongo, Save the Children Rwanda. If you have experience using radio or are thinking about how to use radio, or are just plain curious -- join us! 

The next webinar in this series, From Reaction to Response, will focus on stories shared by teams through written case briefs on the evolution of a considered response to the crisis, including Mobile Creches (India), Ana Aqra (Lebanon), aeioTU (Columbia), and RTCCD (Vietnam). The conversation will be based upon written case briefs, highlighting the value of attentive and intentional listening. 

Join Brick by Brick Uganda to reflect on the stories told by their partner mothers in the Mama Ambassador Program (MAP) of creating a nurturing, caring environment in both before and during COVID 19.  The question we are exploring is how we can intentionally and effectively integrate partner families into program design, reflection and redesign.

​

Over the past two years, with support from Saving Brains, Brick by Brick has introduced the MAP, which serves over 400 adolescent mothers and babies with monthly peer support groups, focusing on parenting skills to strengthen the bond between mother and baby.  Through this program, babies have realized improved development in the first year of life, and young mothers have gained new found confidence through the support of their peers.

Frontiers in Public Health have published the series, Effective Delivery of Integrated Interventions in Early Childhood: Innovations in Evidence Use, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. The majority of contributors are from the Saving Brains Community, and their papers explore the practical application of Measurement FOR Change – measurement that is part of a continuous, dynamic progression, and that guides decision-making throughout the course of implementation and scaling. 

In this webinar three author groups will share their reflections on developing effective delivery processes. We will also explore the 5 key aspirations of the Measurement FOR Change approach, and the connection they make between ethical processes and effective practice. 

We invite you to join the discussion on the implications of this approach for effective delivery at scale. 

The Saving Brains Transition to Scale workshops bring innovators together for three days of intense discussion, planning, sharing and peer exchange.  Afterwards, we look carefully at the themes and ideas exchange, and build them (bottom up) into a Thematic Brief to share back with the wider community.

​

In these two webinars, we'll explore the thematic brief from the Toronto workshop where the focus of discussions was on Scaling ECD through Social Entrepreneurship.  The key themes included 1) sustainable business models, 2) maintaining quality at scale, 3) technology and data, 4) leadership.  Join us in these webinars to learn what Saving Brains innovators had to say on each of these topics when they met in Toronto (in those pre-COVID days!) and to add your own experience to this thematic brief.

Successful social innovations usually involve complex networks of stakeholders. Understanding these stakeholders, and how an innovator’s organization fits within this ecosystem of relationships, is important for building and sustaining impact at scale. This webinar will discuss how a strategic view of an innovation’s stakeholder ecosystem can strengthen impact, reach, and sustainability, and explore the experiences of an innovator.

Our final session will focus on the story of how the Madrasa Early Childhood Program in Kenya (MECP-K) has responded to school closures and the impact on their program implementation approach and timeline.  They will reflect on how these events and experiences have stimulated new strategic thinking.   The registration link for this session will be circulated closer to the date of the webinar.
