6. TRADITIONAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT METHODS
The mainstream organisation engagement methods are designed to reflect the need of the population of Birmingham. We believe this methods is ineffective into migrant population. Therefore, we have propose a new style.
The mainstream organisations engagement strategy has been effective for the indigenous. However, we found that this method is ineffective amongst new migrant communities because of several barriers.
Languages -
Cultures
Religion
Others

7. METHODES Initiate face to face engagement approach Words of mouth

10. Tuberculosis world day 2013 Birmingham Victoria square
Rosie
This event was organised to raise the awareness of TB in Birmingham. We aimed to use migrant population cultural music to attract them including general public. We also had speakers from migrant communities to testify their journey with the disease and how they are cured. We distributed almost 2000 flyers to general public and 65% of Black and Asian origins.

11. Our team are engaging with students during stay safe week at the college to raise awareness of screening. Students are interested to know about TB signs and symptoms

12. TB Engagement Workshops
Mango
Clear need for services for those born overseas who require help integrating into their local community currently hindered by language and cultural barriers.
Reasons for targeting face to face - workshops engagement approach for migrant alongside (UK tradition method) is because - Flyer, posters and online method are most likely not to be effective communication method for migrant population due to lack of English knowledge. – most flyer given to migrant individual end in bin before being read.
Our approach
we delivered workshops to student in different groups. we used the same welcome to Birmingham methods to allow students to ask questions and encourage them to make decision for TB screening. The approach was very effective.
