Collectively Unleashed

In this episode we chat about Brexit, the US election, how to be an activist, why introverts hide in toilets and so much more. Who knew the power of social media could be so broad?  Social Media is a powerful tool and a means of communication to bring justice, educate and stimulate discussion for campaigns and events (both tragic and happy) around the world. It connects us to one another in new ways, but how can we make this impact more meaningful? We look at projects which have created real change through social media campaigns, reflecting on why they worked and how others can learn from them. Featuring: Sarah Corbett,The Founding Director of Craftivist Collective  Sophie Slater, Co-Founder of Birdsong Stine Wilhelmsen, ‎Project Coordinator at Hubbub UK Diane Chang-Wardi, Business Lead for Facebook VP EMEA

We catch some great conversation in the Collectively Unleashed recording booth. We wanted to share them with the community, which is why we've started this new mini-series: "Collaborations, caught in conversation"   In this bite sized ep, Stine, a Divest Hackney rep has a question for Sarah, Founding Director of the Craftivist Collective:   "How can we encourage introverts to take part in our cause and what's the most effective way to reach out to local government?"   Will the answer surprise you? It only takes 5 minutes to find out.

"The first ever Collectively Unleashed event explored how the Scandi work/life balance can be achieved. Taking inspiration from Pia Webb, author of Improve Your Own Quality of Life: The Swedish Way, and Helen Russell, former editor of Marie Claire UK magazine and author of The Year of Living Danishly, Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country, Collectively invited a panel to discuss the Scandi way of life and how you can get it (without having move to another country. Unless you want to, which sounds lovely too actually). " – gabrieleskelton.com

Innovation is about finding a new way forward. Collaboration is the way to get to innovation. You may not be able to do it alone but you can do it, Collectively.  The Collectively community want to amplify their ideas, learn new skills and connect with real people. Crowdfunding is a simple answer to all three of these wants. Join us as we learn from 4 campaigns, from surprising success to just coming short of the goal, each guest loads of information to share. Featuring: Mr. Bingo, Roz from Tsuno, Zack 'Potato Salad' Brown and Laura Lewis-Paul from Saffron Records. Crowdfunding is about making connections: between a great idea and people who are interested in funding it / helping make it happen. We want everyone to know it is doable... here's how you do it.
