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.

Excerpt from The Little Prince, Antoine De Saint-Exupéry

Grown-ups love figures. When you talk to them about a new friend they never ask questions about essential matters. They never say to you: ‘What does his voice sound like? What games does he prefer? Does he collect butterflies?’ They ask you: ‘How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father earn?‘  It is only then that they feel they know him.

If you were to mention to grown-ups: ‘I’ve seen a beautiful house with pink bricks, with geraniums on the windowsills and doves on the roof. . . ‘ they would not be able to imagine such a house. You would have to say to them: ‘I saw a house worth a thousand pounds.’ Then they would exclaim: ‘Oh! how lovely.’
