LCMC’s Role in the Information Dissemination

LCMC partnernered with the Association of Religious in Uganda (ARU) and the Conference of Major Superiors (CMRS) in Zimbabwe as their Communications consultancy. We engaged in production and dissemination of success stories as well as lessons learnt by the beneficiaries (formators and spiritual guides) from the two formation centres - ARU in Uganda and CMRS Zimbabwe. This was in a bid to promote replication of the best practices by other religious and clergy across the globe. This exercise was a great success and you can watch the stories via aruformation or cmrszimbabwe on TikTok or YouTube.
Do you need support in telling the untold stories? Reach out to LCMC and we shall be happy to serve your communications consultancy needs.
