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
