1st step – Choosing times and places

We conducted some research on the internet to find out how many antenatal classes and gynecological consulting rooms there are in Krakow. Then we checked the websites of those places, read opinions on internet forums, and decided to choose the biggest clinics and the most prestigious antenatal classes which were recommended on the internet, and by others. We chose 10 different places, wrote e-mails to them and called them, in order to come into cooperation with gynecology clinics and antenatal classes in Krakow. We reached an agreement with four antenatal classes and four gynecology clinics in Krakow. One colleague proposed we also distribute the calendars in one gynecology clinic in Swietochlowice, because she lives there. We agreed, and so the calendars spread beyond Krakow.

 

2nd step – Creating calendar

In choosing the type of calendar and creating slogans and information that will be contained in it, we decided a paper desk calendar would be the most useful for YMPs. We brainstormed some catchy slogans and discussed what suggestive information about the problems of pregnant woman in the Global South to put on the calendar. Some volunteers also conducted internet research in order to gather information and statistics about the situation of pregnant women in developing countries. We chose the picture and prepared the guidelines for the graphic designer.

 

3rd step - Designing calendar

We then contacted the graphic designer and the publishing house and requested a cost calculation.

Developing graphic design of calendar included:

-   Choosing the size

-   Creating the space for notes, for example the dates of medical examinations, to make   the calendar more useful
