Our Mission

 

Supporting solutions

We highlight and support initiatives and role models around the world that are providing innovative and effective answers to societal issues.

We help them increase their outreach and impact.

Opening up new perspectives

We counter-balance mainstream narratives disseminated by the media, which provide a limited and often pessimistic view of the world, and may contributed to fostering feelings of fear and helplessness.

We, on the contrary, want to spread hope and change.

Fostering social change 

By reaching target audiences, our stories aim to trigger concrete action and contribute at their level to the positive evolution of society and the planet.

A single story can open up new perspectives
and challenge dominant narratives.
Together, we have the power to re-invent our reality.

Our Approach

1. Vision and target audience

What societal improvement are you working towards and whom is the target audience?

First, we need to clarify your vision for society: the positive transformations are you aiming at.

Second, to identify your target audiences who have a direct or indirect influence on the changes you are working towards. These can be your beneficiaries or their surrounding, policy-makers, citizens etc.

2. Storytelling

 Which stories can help increase your impact? 

Stories can open up new perspectives from your target audience, and influence their attitude and behaviors.

Some research has to be done on the existing dominant perspectives from your audience and the alternative perspectives that can lead toward positive transformation. We then identify which stories could embody those alternative views.

3. Production

 Creative productions (audiovisual and written)

From documentaries to short films, books or articles, we handle the whole production of the project in the format most appropriate to reach and touch the audience.

We provide full video production services and a team of talented filmmakers and writers with expertise on social and development issues.

4. Distribution and impact

How can we reach the audience and which action or attitude change are we looking for?  

A precise distribution strategy has to be written from the start: how can we reach the audience, through which medium, at what time and frequency.

When relevant, the production can also include concrete possibilities for action and engagement offered to the audience.
