SDGZINE – Addictlab Academy

About the SDGZINE

Collective Research and Publications on the Sustainable Development Goals

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.

Support and receive the SDGZine in 2021

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.

Magazine as starting point for ideas

The SDGzine is interested in ideas. It’s aim is not so much to document what has been done, but to create a platform and fruitful environment to initiate new ideas. Projects at the beginning of the creative process.

Magazine as building tool for SDG eco system

The SDGzine is interested in people. Using Addictlab’s crossdisciplinary profiling methodology, people become part of the ecosystem and at best will have their talent accelerated. Readers are contributors are editorial board.
