CREATIVE CONSCIENCE 

Creative Conscience is a global movement that aims to improve the communities we live and work in, helping to transform the wider world. We promote socially valuable, human centred design that enables and inspires people to change their lives and the lives of those around them for the better. We do this with our annual global awards scheme, events, education, talks, workshops, and through partnerships, all with the aim of providing practical tools to create positive impact. We are a charitable incorporated organisation, built by a community and founded by Chrissy Levett in 2011. Our aim is to encourage, recognise and reward creative thinking from around the World, across the creative spectrum, developing concepts and projects that are in line with our aims.
