Entertainment-Education Behind the Scenes: Insights for Educators

Sometimes called edutainment, social impact television, narrative persuasion, or cultural strategy, this approach to social and behavior change communication incorporates social change messaging into entertaining media. In this talk, the co-editors will summarize some of the most salient lessons learned from their contributors and provide attendees an opportunity to learn from the successes and mistakes of the experts, taking a behind-the-scenes look at the business of making entertainment-education media.
