CHANGE IN A BOX

Ongoing Project  |  2021—2022

Right now, everything feels pretty challenging. It can be difficult to make sense of it all or know how to help. Change in a Box is a social action kit for young people. It’s for anybody who wants to make a difference but isn’t sure how to get started. Young people don’t need any previous knowledge, experience or skills to get stuck in. Change in a Box takes learners on a three-step journey:

Stories

Inspiring stories of social action that made the world a better place. The book is visual, easy to read, and comes with an audiobook version.

Crafts

Fun activities accompany each story. Experiment with new techniques and materials to make something meaningful.

Advice

Practical advice for making a difference in the community, links to reliable resources, and advice for making sense of everything in a really confusing time.

Change in a Box was first commissioned by The Culture Co-Op, Lancashire Youth Challenge, Lancaster University, and Curious Minds. Since then, more kits have been trialled in Lancashire, Liverpool and London. Change in a Box has also partnered with Arts Emergency to reach even more young people.
