In this masterclass, learn how a simple, month-long campaign was designed and refined to shift real caregiving behaviours. Drawing from a field visit in Maharashtra, the session explores how observing real content usage shaped an approach built on a simple idea: that mothers already know how to raise their children well, they just need the confidence to trust it.
