 We, at banglanatak.com, specialise in social sector communication and community mobilization using innovative and creative culture based approach. We use Theatre in Development (TiD) methodologies.

We physically reach out to the people, build mass awareness through edu-tainment and mobilise people to build a better tomorrow.

We build capacity at grass root level through training of peer groups in behaviour change communication and development of leadership, self management and communication skills.
