Objective:
This could be for a physical action, a series of stickers and posters that encourage people to interact with each other. Great for a tabling event.
The Project:
The Stick Me. sticker is for people to stick on each other, like playing tag. If stuck with a sticker, they have to come to the table to find out why. Once someone is ‘stuck’ and find out about signing on to the Open Covid Pledge as an individual they will ideally sign it, get a sticker that says ‘I stuck it to _______’ and fill in the blank and add to a poster to visually represent those that have signed the Open Covid Pledge. The last step is a selfie prop where they can fill the university or org they stuck it to and share on social media and tag the university and others to encourage them to sign on. They can take some ‘stick me for free’ stickers to put around different places to encourage people to go to the website and see what it’s all about.
STRATEGIES:
TRY THIS:
Print it and use it!
Make a version for social media.
What worked?
Ideally the success of this would be people having fun, being included, and feeling like they have the power to make a difference by signing the pledge.

Reflections from Stacy Early
What was the process/journey of creating this work?
This one took me a little bit to get to. I had tried another interactive piece, but was a bit too involved. After stepping back, watching the C4AA videos, this just kind of came to me. Being able to bounce ideas off others in the group helped, hearing what was needed and wanted allowed me to think more creatively, I wasn’t thinking about this just for me.
