CBSM References in a European Context/Culture and Infrastructural Setting
2007-04-06 12:58:02 UTC
Greetings all!
I am an international master's student studying in Lund, Sweden. While originally from Seattle, USA, I have been living in Europe for a few years and am now writing my thesis. My topic is primarily concerned with increasing public participation, in active and passive forms, to improve sustainable behaviour in urban environments. I am interning in Malm, in the environmental department, working on a few different projects pertaining to environmental communication and public participation. The main project I will analyze for my thesis (due in late May) is pertaining to an interactive activity for high school students regarding daily choices and the environmental impacts of such choice. However, while awareness is the first step, as research demonstrates, awareness does not equal behavioural change. Thus, I will try to incorporate some CBSM techniques to see if I can (albeit, in a very short time) attempt to add a more fun 'twist' to this game and my research findings and not only use it to build awareness/information. Perhaps some of you are familiar with incorporating CBSM strategies in Europe/Scandinavia and can recommend additional authors/studies or more recent references/examples relevant to the existing norms and systems here?
Thank you in advance for your help!
