We bridge gaps of prejudice and fear with empathy and humanity to encourage our audiences to rethink diversity as multiple reflections of universality, as “One Vibe”.

Educational videosIn collaboration with public services, such as the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we create educational videos on social and environmental issues that are distributed in schools on a national scale.
Participatory videosOur blending of expertise in psychosocial work with media production, gave birth to our desire to work on a grassroots level with the people that feel the need to share their points of views and their stories.
