How Our Cohesion Campaigns Work

While cohesion interventions like a 10 Toasts Dinner, Storying Past Small Talk or Crowdsourced Poems with Original Score can be arranged à la carte, Arts for Social Cohesion’s deeper contributions toward a group’s health is through cohesion campaigns designed to “solve for” our partner’s aim.

Cohesion campaigns require partnership.

They are an exercise in “power with,” rather than swooping in to  fix things (“power over”).

After all, had solving for a partner’s been that easy, in most cases it would have already been done…  

Here is how this service works.

01 - Understand

We listen to & clarify our partner’s  interests & needs

02- Assess

•To what extent can an Arts SoCo meaningfully address our partner’s needs?

•To what extent will conditions support a successful campaign?

•Is there enough mission fit?

03 - Design (initial)

•Clearest articulation of Partner’s aim

•Best answers to key planning questions to “solve for” that aim

04 - Propose & Agree

The initial design is presented as part of a proposal

05 - Revise, as needed

Questions & ideas further shape the design

06 - Implement

The campaign kicks off
