The Creative Organising Lab

A one-day online accelerator for NGOs stuck on how to mobilise people, build momentum, and turn ideas into action.

Does your team have a great idea but needs support to take it to the next level?

The Creative Organising Lab is a one-day online workshop led by four creative agencies in West Africa, Europe, India, and South America.

Within the global context of shrinking civic space, rising disinformation, and pressure on the social impact sector, we’ve initiated this lab to support organisations to transform ideas into action. Working with our creative partners, selected organisations will be supported to take their campaigns to the next level to mobilise people, build momentum, and drive action. It will be a practical, hands-on day with tangible outcomes.

How can my organisation take part?

The application process is simple. You will answer a few short questions about your organisation and your goals, including a short pitch of your campaign or mobilisation challenge.

12 applicants will be selected to take part in the Creative Organising Lab, workshopping their challenges with our creative agency partners. At the end of the one-day workshop, each will leave with a mini campaign kit specific to their challenge, including creative framing, draft visuals and copy, messaging, and a short rollout plan.

Applications close 23 February. All applicants will be informed of the outcome of the selection process by 20 March.

What if my organisation isn’t selected?

The Creative Organising Lab will be livestreamed! Even if your organisation isn’t chosen to participate, you can watch along and take advantage of extensive creative expertise and learnings.

You can also register to join the livestream if you don’t have a campaign or mobilisation challenge that’s ready to pitch, or if you’re just interested to learn more about the process.
