dimension ranking

The following "dimensions", ways to make impact, seem to be relevant

Not sure these are relevant? Take your time. Read about the different dimensions and try fine-tuning your responses in the section above.

Embodying

Creative practices may focus on new ways of embodying which allows for people individually and together to tap into the full intelligence of the body, the senses, and experience to engage with the full complexity of life and understand different realities first-hand.More →

Learning

Creative practices offer unique opportunities for learning. Deep assumptions and worldviews can be questioned through creative practice; and new ways of seeing, being and doing can be learned.More →

Imagining

Creative practices can help in imagining different futures in ways that can be vivid, emotionally resonant and challenging; and imagination is a component in all change actions.More →

Caring

New ways of caring for each other and the world open up the safety, support and empathy needed for better futures, as well as for finding the energy and courage to work toward them together.More →

Organizing

Complementing care are the ways in which creative practices might stimulate new ways of organizing – new communities, networks and support structures that can help create change.More →

Inspiring

Creative practices can be core to inspiring action way beyond their immediate interactions by providing emotional energy, ideas and examples.More →

Co-creating

Through the co-creating of creative works, people can harness the power of creative practice to imagine new futures together; to learn new skills, to understand each other's perspectives, to define problems, and more.More →

Empowering

Creative practices can be empowering by raising and strengthening voices and perspectives in systems that normally don’t have any space for them; and people can find new sources of agency and power personally through creative practices.More →

Subverting

Since it is not enough to only build new systems and many current systems have to be dismantled, creative practices can also be used for subverting, symbolically but also practically, broken existing systems and ways of doing things.More →
