We are excited to announce the next part of our new (Covid-necessitated) online aspects of Create1World!

The youth creative competition is done and dusted (see the winners on our FB page here), and the fantastic winners have received their prize money and certificates. That still leaves our goal of bringing you local and international sources of inspiration and wisdom on creative activism. Plus, we still have some prize money to give away, thanks to our sponsor the Wellington City Council Creative Communities Scheme. So keep reading for how to be in to win one of ten prizes of $100.

Normally, at Create1World, we bring together amazing people who do inspirational creative activism for an interactive face-to-face-plus-Zoom talk with you. Normally, we get you all in a huge room together to participate in that live conversation. But, as we all know, we now have a new normal. We wanted to prioritise your health and safety, so our live events have been cancelled in 2020 and 2021. Since then, we’ve been working hard to come up with alternatives tailored to your needs.

We considered holding a Zoom-only event, but we’re aware that there’s a lot of Zoom fatigue out there. In fact, when we talked with many of you, both students and teachers told us there’s a lot of fatigue in general. You told us that adding another thing to be at in a set time and place for several hours of focussed discussion on Zoom was not really what you’re up for right now. You told us that most of you are still working really hard over the last few months of the year to finish up your delayed schoolwork. And we heard you.

So, we decided to make Create1World in its online format something you can participate in in your own time, on your own terms, from anywhere, rather than try to cram it into your busy final term or expect you to come to campus. Introducing (drum roll please…) our Create1World Interactive Podcast!

This is your chance to be part of the Create1World conversation, feature in our podcast series, get your questions about creative activism answered, and maybe even win some prize money. We’re still facilitating conversations with creative activists like we always do, but you can ask your question when it suits you, we send it to the activist of your choice, and they record an answer for you.

Then we’ll make those questions and answers available as podcasts, so that you can chill out, throw in your earphones and listen to the wisdom of inspiring world experts on creative activism in your own time, in your own space, at your leisure. No need to take a day off school to come to Create1World: fit your dose of creative activism motivation and know-how in when and where it suits you.
