Studio 5
A brand new initiative for gender equality
The challenge
Progress for women and girls is going backwards
Around the world, hard-won progress on gender equality is under pressure. With the Women Deliver conference bringing the global gender equality community together in Narrm (Melbourne), there was an opportunity to create a different kind of space alongside the formal programme.
A place where people could connect, share ideas and focus on the actions capable of accelerating progress for women and girls.
The idea
A new space for feminist ideas and action
Project Everyone created Studio 5, bringing strategy, creativity and community together in an intentionally designed space for gender equality.
Moving beyond the traditional conference format, Studio 5 created room for honest conversation, unexpected connections and new ideas, bringing together people working across some of the most urgent issues affecting women and girls.
what happened
Three days of conversation, connection and creativity
Across three days, Studio 5 hosted sharing circles, roundtables, intimate dinners, nightcaps and sound baths, bringing together feminist changemakers from around the world.
The programme explored everything from preventing gender-based violence and women’s health to First Nations knowledge, sexual violence, storytelling and self-care. Creativity was built into the experience, with the space and visual identity drawing inspiration from Australian landscapes and created in collaboration with First Nations and local partners.
