Introducing BIG JOY SPARK!

This month (October) BIG JOY: The Adventures of James Broughton is launching our SPARK campaign.

BIG JOY SPARK
building community, making connections, and sparking creativity

WHAT IS BIG JOY SPARK
Starting in October 2014 BIG JOY: The Adventures of James Broughton, or the BIG JOY PROJECT as we are also known, is launching our SPARK campaign.  Each month we’ll be exploring a different theme that is relevant to our film and you.  Our aim, as ever, is to inspire each other, to explore ideas together, to build community, make connections and spark creativity.  BIG JOY SPARK combines our documentary film, the work of James Broughton and our amazing audience members to create a more dynamic outpouring of joy in the world right now! So we’ll be needing your help!  We hope you will join us by adding to the conversation on the topics that interest you.

PARTICIPATE
Here’s how it works- each month, through our social media outlets (our Big Joy Project blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest) we will dive deeper into BIG JOY and Broughton themes.  Themes like Independent and Experimental film, Celebration, Gay History, Creativity, Love, Poetry, and Healthy Sexuality to name a few.   We’ll challenge you to participate too– so that we’re creating content together, adding into the pot all the expertise, weirdness, thoughts, and just plain good or creative ideas you have around the chosen theme.  Each month we will post questions, challenges and prompts to SPARK your participation with BIG JOY.  And we invite you to do the same.  You can hashtag anything #bigjoyspark if you want to add it to the conversation.  Or shoot us an email at info(at)bigjoy.org with your ideas.

October is LGBT history month and so we’re starting with that.  We’ll look at the roll James Broughton played in Gay History, explore other gay elder role models, and see what other thoughts you have to inspire the rest of us on that theme too.

Here is greater schedule of themes.  (Subject to change of course!)

November/December: Celebration (in all it’s forms and fancies)
January: Creativity
February: Love
March: Independent and Experimental Film
April: Poetry
May: Healthy Sexuality
