Open-ended stories – series of five short, audio monologues (in Rohinghya) setting out problems that communities might face related to cholera. The stories are “open ended”, meaning that the “solution” is not provided in the product – so these are best use as part of listening groups or community outreach activities, in order to provoke discussions.
These materials have been produced by BBC Media Action with support from UNICEF, and are part of an ongoing series of outputs aimed at enhancing the range and quality of information tools available within the Rohingya emergency response.
