A regional workshop was held in Khao Lak, Thailand, from 2 to 6 July 2007, as part of Saving the Planet project. The workshop sought to strengthen the communications capacity of six selected Asian civil society organisations. The workshop brought together 11 participants (from Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, the Philippines and Thailand) and one observer (from Australia).

Workshop content focused on communicating development – taken in its broadest sense -- for awareness raising, advocacy, activist, non-formal education and training purposes. The content was designed to add value to the organisation’s existing communication experience and resources.

The workshop was conducted by a four-member regional resource team drawn from South Asia and Southeast Asia, who brought different perspectives and experiences from broadcasting, media research, advocacy and education backgrounds. They introduced participants to different media formats, options, choices and alternatives, and explored the potential of using digital video production and distribution methods.
