Featured project
Swedes act against their moral beliefs of democracy because the topic of oppression at popular holiday destinations is made invisible by the travel industry. We needed to make this invisible consequence of actions visible. The challenge: The brief was to create an idea that drives awareness for Civil Rights Defenders and their work – and help people understand that threats against democracy are closer than they think. The solution: The strategy involved showing democracy-loving Swedes how they unknowingly, but directly, contribute to autocratic regimes through their choices of destinations by creating an interactive tool. The impact: Sparking a debate on choices in travel Oppression Offset created global coverage and became Civil Rights Defenders’ most shared campaign ever. Thousands of visitors calculated their own offset for different trips. And the new tool and term sparked a debate on how to make ethical choices as a traveler. This led to ongoing negotiations and discussions between CRD and the industry organization on how the tool could be used by the industry going forward.
