Course overview
This course introduces learners to behavioural drivers and the role they play in influencing behaviour. It uses the example of child marriage to illustrate the concepts and principles, but the lessons gained can be applied to other sectors and issues, and the course can benefit anyone with an interest in behavioural drivers and social and behaviour change. Employing a story-based approach, the course takes the learner on a journey through two fictional scenarios illustrating the diverse drivers that shape decision-making and action in child marriage. The learner will become familiar with the Behavioural Drivers Model and the Social Ecological Model as frameworks to understand behavioural influences; the role of social and gender norms, reference groups and social networks in shaping behaviours, and illustrative approaches and activities to promote desired social and behaviour change. This course includes captioning for screen readers.
