We are really glad to announce our renewed partnership with When East Meets West! ESoDoc will be organising one of the Inspirational Lab which will be taking place on site, in Trieste (Italy), during WEMW on Jan 24-26, 2022.
THE IMPACT PYRAMID
How to develop a coherent workflow towards a powerful Impact Strategy
ESoDoc's lab at WEMW will focus on the design of impact campaign strategies. Danielle Turkov and Amy Shepherd from Think-Film Impact Production (TFIP) will lead a guided co-creation workshop, in which selected fiction and documentary projects will develop impact loglines, goals and key action steps, taking participants on a coherent and cohesive journey from knowledge acquisition to impact activation.
The main goal is to enhance participants’ understanding of the value of impact and what it can achieve for their productions and society, introduce them to a range of tools they can use to design and deliver policy impact, give participants specific project advice and guidance.
