Healthworks Information
The Healthworks radio series is for health and social development workers. The series consists of thirteen programs full of useful information and ideas to help health and social development workers improve their professional practice for working in their community. The series was developed by Health Communication Resources (www.h-c-r.org) and is based on a post-graduate course at Curtin University in Perth, Australia.
In collaboration with OneWorld Radio, the series is available for download from OneWorld Radio
WORKBOOK
The radio series is accompanied by a workbook with spaces for responding
to learning activities in the Healthworks radio series. The workbook also
contains an evaluation sheet and a glossary of words discussed in the
series. Listeners obtain the workbook from the participating radio station.
CERTIFICATE
When listeners complete the workbook, at the end of the series, they will
take the workbook to the radio station broadcasting the Healthworks radio
series. A Certificate of Participation will be issued. The evaluation
sheet, at the back of the workbook, must be completed before a certificate
is issued.
TOPICS AND LEARNING FORMAT
Healthworks uses Interactive Instruction Techniques with guided workbook
activities and learning sequences, interviews with health professionals
