Beyond the book, raising awareness
With the pedagogical expertise and experience of serving underprivileged communities, Sipar has developed awareness campaigns on various issues in cooperation with corporate and institutional partners. Sipar is delivering key messages in remote communities via ses bibliothèques mobiles, ses Clubs de Jeunes (OCB) et à travers d’autres programmes, en partenariat avec des acteurs institutionnels, privés, et associatifs locaux.
For each issue, we create our own educational games and materials, adapting the message to the target audience, mainly vulnerable young people and adults. Our goal is to achieve behaviour change and to encourage Cambodians to become Ambassadors on these topics within their families and communities.
