What is Creative Day for Social Good?
Creative Day for Social Good is a collaborative event that connects graphic design, public relations students from Conestoga College and creative professionals with not-for-profit organizations across Canada to provide communication and design materials.
Why do we do it?
It's simple — education should serve and builds our communities. Students gain valuable experience by working with industry partners to serve diverse not-for-profit organizations across Canada. And, with improved design and communication materials, these organizations are positioned to help more Canadians in our communities.
Conestoga College along with partners at Capacity Canada and Intertek Catalyst developed Creative Day for Social Good to foster creative skills in education while giving back. The experience for the students are immeasurable and lead to a greater understanding of how design can be a catalyst for change, and make an impact not-for-profit organizations to better serve and reach their communities.
What does it mean for the students?
Students get to work directly with clients and learn from professionals in the industry. Each project is unique, allowing each student to problem solve and work within a team to deliver results. The student’s involvement aligns with their overall program requirements and counts towards their academic credentials.
What does it mean for the community?
The not-for-profits that take part from across Canada receive needed design, promotional materials and a design and public relation strategies for their specific needs. By working with the students and creative professionals, they participate by voicing their challenges, assist in messaging and leave with exciting, fresh and dynamic new communication assets to incorporate into their next big campaign.
