Collective Research and Publications on the Sustainable Development Goals
in production: Innovating for the post pandemic world
About the SDGZINE
The SDGZINE is a concept from Addictlab’s magazine research to create a customizable publication on the UN’s sustainable development objectives.
Content is collected through partners with local or global communities. It should inspire, showcase best practices an initiate new initiatives related to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Using Addictlab’s methodology of collective intelligence, the curated content will be made available in different ways: per SDG and the related targets, or using the partner’s projects as navigation system.
Content
The SDGS and the Addictlab Creative Chemistry cards are the navigational system throughout the curated content as delivered by partners, schools, collaborating journalists and participants to the SDG workshops.
Distribution
Distribution of the magazine will grow organically.
- PDFS available and downloadable online
- hard copies available via print-on-demand websites
- hard copies available at the partner locations
- Partners will have the possibility to purchase extra print runs of their section of the magazine.
State of the art online workflow system:
You can follow the preparation and production of each magazine on www.addictlab.com. It starts as a project, with a project manager, linked to a creative hub (eg school). When ready the SDGzine becomes the output of that project.
