(Daily) Delight~Disrupt
What if we shifted common sense to support more restorative ways of being?
The problem
The world is facing a myriad of challenges, from the climate crisis and mass extinction to loneliness, cost of living pressures, political polarisation, and more. These social and environmental problems can feel complex, insurmountable and disempowering.
Our approach
(Daily) Delight~Disrupt cultivates a grassroots movement of delightful, repeatable and scalable weekly practices to generate massive social and environmental change through connection, commitment and care.
These playful moments, focused through themed days of the week – for example, Tree-hugging Tuesdays, Feast Fridays and Screen-free Sundays – promote and experientially manifest creative and restorative ways of being, disrupting the destructive status quo.
This viral social movement allows people to reconnect with each other and the places they care about. Engaging in personal, collective, embodied playful actions enables a profound shift in people’s belief in their ability to make positive change. Ecoculture jamming generates transformative experiences in which people co-create a better more caring and connected world.
The outcomes
The project team has developed a library of playful moments for each day of the week and an easy and fun platform for individuals, groups and organisations to spread delightful disruption.
SBS invited the team to activate their employees for Earth Day and the City of Sydney Council invited them to activate people inside and outside Sydney Town Hall. And, partnering with more than a dozen campus organisations, (Daily) Delight~Disrupt helped bring their radically simple and fun way to enhance well-being to UNSW’s Mental Health Month.
Through volunteers and early adopters, the project has spread to countries as diverse as Germany, Iran and China. Such events have further developed the concept and strengthened its impact, informing scaling-up plans to ignite systems change at national and global scales.
Partner with this project to enhance your organisation’s connection, effectiveness and creativity.
This is a Massive Action Sydney project.
Project partners
The project team has grown from the founders to dozens of volunteers, delightful disruptors, and partners around the world. The concept has been met with enthusiasm from industry, government and communities.
