About This Project

Creating for Change is a week-long pop-up event and creative space for the Brisbane community to explore the role of art and creative communication tools to create a better world. The event will feature an interactive design exhibit, with activities that help participants understand our 5 key creative methodologies for creating change; storytelling, storymaking, systems-thinking, design-thinking, and theory of change.


Some of these free activities include ‘Postcards for Peace,’ sustainable future building using LEGO Serious Play, storytelling workshops, and Art for Change.

There will also be a program of paid workshops for those who are passionate about addressing a local or global challenge and want to learn the 5 creative communication methods and implement them in their own work.


Creating for Change is organised by the Humanitarian Changemakers Network, a Brisbane-based social enterprise that equips and empowers young people to take action to change the world. We have run workshops for primary and secondary schools across Brisbane, and partnered with local and global organisations like the QLD Red Cross, Amnesty International, and Thought for Food. As our impact and network continues to grow, we would like to encourage more people to “think globally, act locally, and explore using art and creative communication methods to co-create a peaceful and sustainable future.

Use Of Funds

$3,000 Tipping Point Goal

Our funding goal is to at a minimum, cover all of the expenses involved in running the event. This includes hiring the venue (7-day rent + utilities,) any temporary fit-out, furniture and merchandising equipment (which will also be used for our future events, market stalls, and pop-ups), any of the materials and supplies required for the art, craft, and workshop activities on offer, and the signage and displays for the exhibition.

$10,000 Stretch Goal

Once we've covered the costs of running Creating For Change, we'd love to make sure the event has an even bigger impact for our community!

We will use some money to creatively promote the event to attract more budding young changemakers, make our workshops accessible to more participants, and offer some grants to our workshop participants who can develop the most creative solutions to the local or global challenges that they are passionate about.
