GLIDER GLOBAL Information

Glider is a research and conceptual agency, working in the area of human futures, strategic innovation and new form experience design for transformation and positive social impact. We focus our work on the big human issues shaping our society and the future, and create compelling physical and digital experiences that move people to think, feel, be and do in new and fuller ways. As a transdisciplinary studio, working across multiple modes for maximum impact, our work defies easy definition. Our partnerships with leading NGOs, research institutes, foundations, organisations, industries, governments, cities, festivals and the wider public, seek out innovative, and often unexpected, new ways to spark meaningful conversations about what it is to be alive, and all the fullness of what it means to Be Human. Our work spans placemaking, community building, civil empathy, social inclusion, climate change, sustainability, systems change, philanthropy, ethics, human rights, geopolitics and international relations. At the heart of Glider’s work is a deep understanding and appreciation of our shared human experience. By exploring and better understanding ourselves, each other and the world we inhabit, we cultivate conditions where we might live well together.
