By working in partnership with:
- Local cinemas and film clubs
- Speakers, to put the film and issues into context

- Development Education Centres (DECs)
- University and college-based groups that work in this field, such as People and Planet.
Are you putting on - or considering - events to raise awareness of your work to a wider audience? This might be:
- Fund-raising occasions
- Themed events, such as Refugee Week or World AIDS day
- A programme of linked events.
How to use the Manual
