Who we are
We want to see a world where communities are strong, and people lead lives they aspire to. Our people are researchers, designers, facilitators, coaches, subject matter experts, and social innovators with deep connections to the communities and professional contexts in which we work.
With operations in Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Bermuda and the Caribbean, our approach is informed by two decades of partnerships and projects in local and international contexts.
What we do
At ThirdStory, our multidisciplinary team of social innovators focus not on problems and symptoms but on the ambitions, needs and potential that communities hold.
Our partners and clients engage us to:
- Convene diverse stakeholders
- Design services, strategy and policy
- Prototype new ideas
- Help them with learning, research and evaluation
- Support capability building, change and scale
