Calling all storytellers and artists!

Collaborate for Change is back - submissions due Oct 20th!

Have you been looking for someone to co-create with, who shares your values around shining a light on underrepresented groups, topics, and lived experiences through art?

Are you interested in networking with people across arts and culture, public health, and global health sectors?

Do you self-identify as either...

If you saw yourself in one of those descriptions, we are seeking applications for our newest Collaborate for Change cohort!

C4C is our reoccurring storyteller-creator matchmaking event, designed to facilitate connections between our network of creatives with storytellers from traditionally non-creative sectors.

Curious to know more about the community we are building between creatives and storytellers? Check out our latest blogs on:

• how art and culture can heal our collective traumas
• why now is the time, more than ever, to prepare the public health and global communities to partner with the creative economy

Event Structure

Storytellers will be matched with a series of Artists/Creators, whose goals and values align well with each other based on our intake form. Then, matches will have an opportunity to meet on October 31st, 2021, at 2pm EST.

We will also have some team members from previous Collaborate for Change cohorts present what they've been working on at the upcoming matching event.

What happens once a match has been made?

Once collaborative teams have been successfully formed, matches can start creating their projects together! Along their journey, teams will have access to bi-weekly drop-ins and 1-on-1 coaching hosted by Taboo Health to provide support. Whether you need to find the courage to tell your story, learn how to project manage, or advise on reaching out to industry partners - we've got your back!

If you let us know about a match you've made before November 5th via EMAIL, we will put your name in the (proverbial) hat to win a FREE 1-on-1 coaching session.
