TEENS TALK SEXUAL HEALTH
FAMILIANDO TAKES AN INTERGENERATIONAL
LOOK AT SEX EDUCATION IN PUCALLPA, PERU
Our Peruvian radio show
Familiando helps parents talk
about sexual and reproductive
health with their adolescent
children.
As Veronica, a mother and avid
listener puts it, “Familiando helps
you guide your children as a
mother. Many times, as stay-athome
moms, we cannot go to
places to attend conferences,
but we have Familiando at our
fingertips, and we listen to it
because it is important for us to
know how to guide our children.”
The radio program features a talk
show with an open line for guests to
call in. Hosts from a group of youth
leaders from the town known as
Líderes en Tiempo Liberado (LTL)
drive the conversation, inviting
callers to join.
Teenage radio hosts promote Familiando
Each week, LTL hosts play a short
fictional scene on a family-related
topic. Some sketches are taken
from programs that PCI Media
Impact has developed in the
past. Others, such as a scene on
gender roles where a teenage girl
is prompting her father to let her
help fix the car, were designed for
Familiando itself. Each scene and
discussion aimed to reclaim the
meaning of family, repositioning it
to make it more inclusive, diverse,
democratic and active.
In Pucallpa, Peru, teen pregnancy
and poor sexual health raise
concerns for many parents; but
many report feeling ineffective in
conversations on these issues with
their own sons and daughters.
Familiando draws these parents
into the discussions they want
and need to have.
#NATUREFORALL
CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES AT
WORLD CONSERVATION
CONGRESS IN HAWAII
#NatureForAll, the latest global
movement of the International
Union for the Conservation of
Nature (IUCN), is an effort to
bring together organizations
that can connect new audiences
with nature for a simple reason:
the more people experience,
connect with, and share their love
for nature, the more support there
will be for its conservation.
PCI Media Impact co-led the
development of this campaign
with funder and partner Parks
Canada. Alison Sudol, musician,
actress and author, introduced
the campaign at the global launch
at the recent World Conservation
Congress in Hawaii.
“From Alison Sudol to inquisitive
children to media moguls,
#NatureForAll offered a vibrant
energy with the strong reminder
that people are part of nature,”
said Nancy Colleton, former Chair
of the IUCN’s Commission on
Education and Communication.
“It’s an important reminder of
how important it is to reconnect
people to nature.”
