Get your community together and unleash your creativity for IWD 2024
International Women's Day is all about the three C's: Community, Collaboration, Connection.
So why not get your crew together and get creative!
The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 was Inspire Inclusion - and it was all about forging inclusive places and spaces for women, and celebrating and elevating their achievements - all while still calling for a more equal world for women (as we all know, we still have quite a way to go with that one, right!).
So for a bit of awesome inspiration, check out some of the excellent International Women's Day #InspireInclusion creative projects from 2024.
Creating an IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion song
The amazing crew at GirlsofGrime collaborated on a fabulous IWD 2024 Inspire Inclusion theme song. Lead by GirlsOfGrime founder Shakira Walters and Janet Taras of Speaking Rights and featuring Molly Elizabeth Teague and Lycie and polished by a raft of female producers, this incredible soundtrack and music video provides pure inspiration to be viewed and shared for IWD activity worldwide.
Crafting an IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion poem
The highly talented and accomplished spoken word poet Sharena Lee Satti stepped forward and rallied her community to #InspireInclusion. So make sure you listen - really listen - to this incredibly deep and mindful poem. The words and thoughts are incredibly moving.
Planning an IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion lettering design
With the highly enthusiastic global Typism lettering community, championed by Dominique Falla, lettering artists across the world sprinkled joy and inspiration for the masses. Lettering provides a highly effective and engaging platform for elevating messages about women's equality, so the annual IWD Lettering Challenge with Typism is always a popular activity.
Getting the community together to make a film
Some groups got their communities together to show their creative side in developing videos that helped educate, inform, inspire, and elevate the ethos of IWD.
Stanmore College in the UK got very creative, producing an IWD #InspireInclusion video with The Film Studio that was set to the deeply passionate poetry of Anjli Gheewala.
