CATALYST

Studio EMMI is a recipient of the 2009 Ideas That Matter awards. Sappi's Ideas that Matter programme awards grants worth US$1 million each year to graphic designers globally, enabling them to promote their chosen social, environmental or humanitarian causes.

We believe that the creative ideas of designers can have an impact far beyond the design world. Ideas can mobilise the world for the better. We used our grant for design and print of the Catalyst Inspiring Arts Ideas for Teachers campaign.

Catalyst Inspiring Arts Ideas for Teachers has been developed by the Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts in response to a lack of training for teachers in how to incorporate and teach the arts in school especially at primary school level.

Engaging with the arts enriches young people’s lives, nurtures creativity and improves children’s self esteem and skills. Children & the Arts helps young people who would otherwise grow up having had no, or very limited opportunity to
engage with the arts.
