Open Studios

Open Studios, in collaboration with Girl Effect, is an open, distributed, creative network of global contributors interested in using creativity and ideas to accelerate a new normal for girls.

Girl Effect is helping to create a world in which girls are not held back from reaching their full potential, either by themselves, their families, or their communities. To help break these invisible barriers, Girl Effect has created brands like Ni Nyampinga in Rwanda, a multimedia editorial platform spanning magazine, radio, and mobile, and Yegna in Ethiopia, a multi-platform brand featuring drama, a talk show, and a girl band.

Now, the ambition is to accelerate the Girl Effect with new brands that have potential to spread across the globe. The intention with Open Studios is to create these kinds of brands faster by collaborating more openly.
