While it might not be the first activity that comes to mind for CSR, creating an awareness video for a specific environmental or community issue can have a far greater impact than a few hours of manual labor. Plus, producing a video is a highly creative and enjoyable process. Typically done outdoors in locations connected to the theme, tasks include script writing, assigning roles, acting, on-camera speaking, and collaborating with local community members or NGOs. It’s an engaging activity that can be completed in just a few hours.

Though it feels like a team-building exercise, the final product will have a real-world impact.

What You’ll Do

Teams are divided into smaller groups, each producing their own video. These videos can focus on the same issue or support different causes. Once edited by our professional team, the videos can be shown at your farewell dinner or conference, complete with an awards ceremony for added entertainment – this is optional of course. Local NGOs and communities will use these videos on their social media platforms to support their causes. Your company’s name and logo can be included or left out, depending on your preference.

CSR Video Production Social Activity Example

Consider Green Sea Safari, a Dubrovnik-based NGO that organizes remote beach clean-ups by speedboat with volunteers from the local community and tourists. Producing a video for them could help raise awareness and attract new members, who pay an annual membership fee that funds their activities. The NGO needs around €25,000 a year to maintain its clean-up efforts on the Elaphite Islands. While a small portion of this budget comes from the City of Dubrovnik, they rely on memberships and donations for the rest.

A well-crafted video by your team could help this NGO gain more local and international members, making them more credible with authorities, international donors, and the general public. With more funding, they could expand their clean-up activities beyond Dubrovnik to the entire Croatian coastline and even the broader Mediterranean region. Your team’s experience in international business could also help them connect with global corporations for long-term support, potentially having a far greater impact than participating in a one-day clean-up.
