We help people and organisations understand, access and apply creativity to achieve and enhance their development goals.  We use creative processes, arts, storytelling and digital media to build a sense of community, creative ‘out of the box’ thinking and new possibilities for groups of people, young or old, grassroots or central government, committed to positive change.

At the heart of our work is authentic participation brought about by the skilled facilitation of creative practice that leads to the ownership of change and the empowerment to act on it.  We thrive on making long-term partnerships with organisations that have strong links with their target populations  - this keeps our work refreshed, contemporary and relevant.

For our work we access a global network of skilled local and international educators, artists, filmmakers and facilitators.  Our approach is documented in a published creative practice handbook that has been used in development contexts in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.

The Last Mask Exhibition VTV1 TV segment  In January 2010, Vietnamese social NGO, CSAGA brought together 24 women members of their victims of domestic violence support clubs   to do a creative project using mask making, storytelling, drawing, singing, theatre games and photography. The aim was to help them explore their lives, past and present, and then to share the outcomes with a wider audience.  Link to facebook event
