Owen Consulting worked with the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Big Six Consortium of the world’s largest youth organization to facilitate the global co-design lab for the Global Youth Mobilization 2.0. The co-design lab developed a pitch deck for GYM 2.0, which was used to raise more than $17 million to fund youth-led projects around the world. Owen Consulting played a pivotal role, working with a global group of youth leaders and with the reference group, including leadership from the consortium members, to achieve consensus on both the youth-led design of GYM 2.0 and the contents of the pitch deck.

What They Say
I have had the pleasure of working with Owen Consulting, who led a process of brainstorming and project development for the IFRC on behalf of the Big Six alliance of Youth Organizations, when we were looking at lessons learnt from the Global Youth Movement (GYM 1.0) to improve the second iteration. Owen Consulting co-designed, convened, and facilitated the process of co-creation with young people from across the globe through a series of online workshops. I was impressed at how they were able to pivot to some of the requirements of the young people and provide support for the strategic thinking around the project. I found them great to work with, receptive to feedback, and helpful at suggesting how we can improve the project. I would absolutely choose to work with them in the future.
