Empowering Change in the Non-Profit Sector

The status quo won’t survive.

Neither will we if we’re not willing to change. In this phenomenal conversation with powerhouse Celine Semaan, an artist, author and cofounder of Slow Factory, we explore why change is understandably terrifying—and why it’s now or never that we do it.

In this wide-ranging and nuanced discussion we explore the big picture, colonialism, why systems are slow-moving, and the emotional load of confronting what’s happening. Celine reveals why most climate organisations are failing and how Slow Factory has set themselves apart by designing with risk at the centre. Slow Factory is a fascinating organisation which produces open source educational courses, information and comms for other NGOs in the space. We I discuss their agile model which has helped them break out in the climate space, and how they are now looking to transition to a more on-the-ground approach to community organising.
