Spark

How to inspire a £1m investment programme and a shape a process to amaze everyone involved? We are delighted to have partnered Spark and made it a success.

Spark brought together private, public and third party sectors to invest into organisations tackling homelessness. The knack was make it more than a Dragon's Den, and something that partners could get real learning and collaboration from, including all finalists, lead partners (Eastside Consulting, Big Issue Invest, TREES) and corporate partners (BT, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Places for People).

Eudemonic consulted on the programme and produced a series of events to give the programme a real boost. Spark Ignition was an event that combined a unique learning space with inspired work areas and connection points. We created films, installations and meeting points as well as created space for free discussion and reflection. We ran it like clockwork to get a 97% positive response from participants.

Spark Action was an event to announce the awards for finalists. More invigorating and relaxed than a gala, it involved world café discussion, a Spark Tour, amazing visuals, film, timelines, maps and connection walls. It culminated in a fantastic toast to the London skyline - a fitting ending to a project we are proud to have been part of.

"The event created an environment and space where people from different sectors - government, big business, third sector - met and became inspired in each other's work and started to design solutions for social change. Eudemonic did a fantastic job to ensure the format, space and content enabled this to happen. It reminded me that an event - when well designed and managed - is far more than a one-off incident and can be a catalyst for real change"
