Start the Change aims to:

–> propose a replicable educational model to increase the engagement of students and young people within their communities;

–> give to young people tools to face contemporary world challenges and to actively engage themselves on migration and development issues, starting from their practical experiences;

–> strengthen networks among schools, organisations and local authorities.

Realised in collaboration with teachers and educators, the project has strengthened the network between schools, civil society organizations and local authorities.

Studio Super Santos has been involved since the very beginning - in 2017 - when the project needed a full on brand identity. The usage of arrows, flows and directions, are some of the key points for Start The Change and for the effectiveness of its brand identity. An identity that has to be global, bold, sharp and recognizable. An identity that has to convey the main values of the project. The idea of a flexible logotype and alterations to the typographic characters, came up to express the concept of “changing direction” and gave to the brand a touch of uniqueness.

In addition to the brand guidelines for the application of the identity on communication materials, Studio Super Santos created a series of open templates in order to allow all the partners to generate institutional and communication materials in an efficient and independent way. These layouts have guaranteed the uniformity of the project through the different countries in terms of communication and facilitated the production of all the materials.

‍

‍

During the 3 years of duration of the project, Studio Super Santos supported Start The Change in the creation of all the communication materials, both online and offline, while offering a creative strategy consultancy. The collaboration had lead to the creation of the official website, manual for teachers and educators, toolkits of resources, merchandise materials and a final guide of the good practices collected from 2017 and 2020 called 8 steps to be a changemaker.
