Other than the SPACE and PEOPLE, we can also design and PROCESS fir the routines, systems and mechanisms for communicating with the education stakeholders in your community.
For communication to be effective, it is important that the process is clear, inclusive, and human. Here are some tips that we can explore in designing communication processes.

Use this worksheet to guide your reflection. Here’s an example of understanding the changing processes in communicating with your education stakeholders.
