    How can new & rich media content accessed by digital media be used to persuade users to change their attitudes and behaviour - and how can the new media formats be used to create empathy and a tight emotional bond between the content of the communications and the receivers?

    While communicating, we often search for the best way to manipulate and change people’s thoughts, attitudes, and behaviour. New & rich media seem to be ideal for the purpose of persuasion.

    Your task is to create a variety of new & rich media content for a campaign for an existing NGO , using different content types, genres and platforms introduced during this semester. The content can be conducted with focus on rhetorical means, ethical issues, or/and immersive approach. The goal is to create awareness, spread the message, include the user, and/or maintain loyalty to the case.

    You can choose between three suggested cases/themes or find your own NGO. The only requirement is that the case is a NGO (and a non profit organization).

    The campaign material must consist of following components.
