Create meaningful change

 

What is Creative Day for Social Good?

Creative Day for Social Good is a collaborative event where design and PR students from local colleges partner with creative professionals to provide much-needed communication and design materials for non-profit agencies.

 

Why do we do it?

Understanding the value of real-world experience and the impact of working directly with mentors, Intertek Catalyst, Capacity Canada and Conestoga College developed Creative Day for Social Good to foster creative skills while giving back. The experiences for each student are immeasurable and often lead to exciting careers within the industry and the materials provided to non-profit agencies help them better reach their audiences.

 

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 diplomas and degrees.

 

What does it mean for the community?

The non-profits that take part from across Canada receive much needed promotional materials and a design and PR strategy catered to their specific needs. By working with the students and creative professionals, they get to voice their challenges, assist in messaging and leave with exciting, fresh and dynamic new communication assets to incorporate into their next big campaign.
