RECONNECT WITH YOUR PURPOSE. CREATE CHANGE FROM YOUR ZONE OF GENIUS.

NEW The Artful Activist Training pptx

The Artful Activist is a creative workshop designed for artists, creative professionals, industry changemakers, and music lovers who want to make a meaningful contribution to the climate and social justice movement.

Through The Artful Activist, you’ll discover your zone of genius and your unique impact, so you can create meaningful and sustainable change.

Created by Laura Overbeeke and Frederike Berendsen (FRÉ), the training helps participants reconnect with hope, clarity, and their own creative power.

What the Training Does

Through a guided series of reflective exercises and free-writing sessions, participants:

  • Transform overwhelm and/or climate anxiety into agency, hope, and enthusiasm.
  • Reconnect with their sense of purpose and why their work matters.
  • Discover their personal unique impact statement — a compass that supports sustainable, long-term action.
  • Leave feeling re-energized, grounded, connected to like-minded individuals and ready to take meaningful action.
  • Act from creativity rather than fear

Where It’s Been Piloted

We recently piloted the evolved version of the training at theWe Are Warming Up Festival at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam.
The response was incredibly positive: people left feeling connected, uplifted, and inspired to take action from a place of creativity and strength.

Who It’s For

  • Artists, musicians & performers
  • Creative professionals
  • Industry changemakers
  • Music lovers
  • Anyone who wants to contribute to a hopeful cultural shift

Whether you’re new to activism or already deeply involved, the training helps you (re)connect to the “why” beneath your actions and find your most natural and magnetic way to create change.

Bring the Training to Your Community

We offer both online and in-person sessions.
The workshop can be adapted for festivals, hubs, creative communities, and organisational teams.
If you'd like to experience the training yourself, host it for your community, or explore how it can support your organisation, we’d love to connect.
