Saving our Planet, One Story at a Time
Addressing the world’s greatest challenges, from climate change and biodiversity loss to gender inequality, requires action from all sectors and all individuals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are humanity’s blueprint to tackle these challenges – in many ways they are the world’s ‘to do’ list – but progress towards them needs to rapidly accelerate. As expert storytellers, the creative industry has a pivotal role in inspiring action to achieve the SDGs by 2030: this is the world’s most important creative brief.
Bringing together creatives and changemakers, this event will explore opportunities to uplift stories of progress and uphold human dignity. Stories can be a powerful tool to bring people together in our shared humanity, amplify voices and foster agency for marginalised identities as well as influence positive social change. Through a masterclass with industry leaders and a collaborative design sprint, discover ways to use your creative talents to tell stories that empower, inspire and help to achieve the global goals.
