*Please see notes from the webinar below*
Join us on 28 May for the Global Alliance for SBC’s Peer Learning Session on Applied Behavioural Science.
(2.00pm – 3.30pm UK time zone).
As the field evolves, this is an opportunity to cut through the noise and focus on what’s actually useful in real-world SBC work—from systems thinking to practical application in complex settings.
We’ll be joined by a panel of leading experts bringing diverse perspectives from across the field:
- Dr. Benjamin Hickler – Behavioural Science Research Lead, UNICEF Innocenti – Office of Strategy and Evidence
- Sara Rizzo – Senior Advisor, BIT (Behavioural Insights Team)
- Dr. Melinda McKay – Practice Director, Behavioural Sciences, JSI
What to expect:
- Expert panel discussion
- Interactive exchange with participants
- Insights grounded in practice, not just theory
Open to all interested people within the development and humanitarian sector and beyond.
