Presented by the Sustainable Living Association, EPA Region 8 and Patagonia.

 

How DO you facilitate behavior change for improved performance, environment or community? Attend this hands-on presentation that explores messaging for behavior change concepts, also known as Community-Based Social Marketing (CBSM). We’ll discuss real-world examples and work through a customizable worksheet activity that you can take back to your community or organization. This adaptable approach is an impactful way to think about messaging, education and outreach.

 

CBSM assists organizations and communities in promoting positive behavior change through:

  • Identifying and understanding barriers to behavior change
  • Applying tools to overcome or offset those barriers
  • Developing, testing and piloting a plan
  • Implementing the program for a specific audience
  • Evaluating effectiveness of messages
