The Modules

Welcome to this online learning resource, which is meant to take a budding Public Health Editorial Group at your station by the hand to, step-by-step, design what you want to do and how.

This is brought to you by E3J’s community media partners CMFE and COMMIT. By following the five modules, where one module is the precondition for the next, you will – step-by-step – be able to develop your programme identity, objective, and a practical plan.
