How to Stitch for Social Action

25 July 2015 at 16.30–17.30
Craftivists

The Stitchable Change-makers project is a chance to slow down and – in the safe environment that craft creates – reflect on what values are threaded through the changemakers we’re stitching, and challenge ourselves to decide how we can thread our own values into the choices we make every day in order to become awesome global citizens.

Once it’s finished, each card is also a tactile physical reminder to strive to put your values into practice in all you do. Keep it at home or display it at work, wherever is most helpful for you. It might even start some great conversations with others.

Led by Sarah Corbett, Founding Director of Craftivist Collective. She believes craft can be a tool for gentle activism aimed at influencing long-term change. By using the quiet, reflective time it gives us to explore global issues and how they affect the world around us, we can create something beautiful, considered, positive and poignant.
