Individual Social Material: Planning effective behaviour change interventions

A theory based model used to develop practical, effective interventions
Overview

ISM is a practical tool, which allows us to think beyond the individual to consider all of the contexts that shape people’s behaviours - the Individual, the Social and the Material. By understanding these different aspects and the multiple factors within them that influence the way people act every day, more impactful policies and interventions can be developed.

This interactive workshop introduces the ISM model and takes participants through the process of using the model to map out the influences on a particular behaviour, before using the outcome of the mapping process to design potential interventions to deliver back on campus.
