IMPORTANT: APPLICATIONS TO THE PROGRAM ARE OPEN UNTIL SATURDAY 14TH OF NOVEMBER 2020  

The Cosmic Foundation is launching an exploration program with a diverse working group of Editorial Cartoonists & Illustrators from around the world to build on the latest findings in the field and distribute strategic tools that will take you straight into this new era of change communications.  

This program is for you if: 

• You work in the field of editorial cartooning and illustration, 

• You typically consider the “impact factor” in your editorial decisions (the actual effect of the piece, beyond the artistic expression) 

• You want to make sure your work is perceived as relevant, beyond the smile effect 

• You are looking for ways to differentiate yourself and be more strategic, 

• You are curious about what a new culture of change communications might look like, 

• You would benefit from an overview of the most relevant change communication tools in 2020/2021, 

• You want to streamline your work with more structure and a better sense of direction, without compromising on your intuitive and artistic approach, • You seek new sources of inspiration for your work, 

• You want to connect with other progressive cartoonists with similar interests.  

About Camille Duran: 

Camille Duran specializes in the fields of Change Psychology, Media, Culture & the Arts. He works internationally as a Campaign & Media Strategist, Investigative Researcher, Producer and Writer.

Key themes that will be addressed during the program: 

• Beyond style: Cartoonist/Illustrator differentiation in a difficult media landscape,  

• Strategies & tactics that have had limited results or do not work anymore (and have they ever, beyond the symbolic?), 

• Learning lessons from neurobiology and neuroscience, compiled for the Editorial Cartoonist, 

• Dealing with the guilt factor in storytelling, 

• Mastering the subtle: where talents are most needed, and where the Artist excels! • A method to frame stories on root causes (vs. on symptoms) of the issue at hand, 

• Unifying vs. Polarising audiences, 

• Framings: Reactive vs. proactive, problem vs. solutions, local vs. global, • The "air time dilemma", 

• Dealing with “Media Drama Fatigue” while staying on point, 

• A method for adapting global “too big” stories to local & relevant framings that create engagement, 

• How this working group can trigger new experiments that will shape culture and transport other content producers into a new era.
