Survey Projects
We provide a survey tool that goes beyond forms and checkboxes. BLVE first gathers information by coordinating 1:1 conversations around key questions regarding goals for the survey and ideas for the future. By being informed about the community’s core values and engagement, we can then help identify, and strategize a process imbued with the community’s values and understanding of the current situation. We build tools that move toward the actionable realization of a deeper, more meaningful relationship with stakeholders.

Community Assessment
Community Assessment is a crucial process that allows a deeper understanding of the strengths, opportunities, and challenges present within a community. It serves as a comprehensive analysis, gathering valuable information about demographics, resources, and the overall well-being of the community. By conducting a thorough examination and evaluation, community members and stakeholders can identify areas for improvement, implement targeted strategies, and ultimately work towards enhancing the quality of life for everyone involved. Moreover, a well-executed community assessment provides the foundation for effective planning, decision-making, and the allocation of resources, ensuring that actions are aligned with the specific needs and aspirations of the community. Through this iterative and collaborative process, individuals come together, pooling their knowledge and expertise, contributing to the collective growth and resilience of the community as a whole.
Cultural Reporting
Cultural reporting plays a vital role in shaping our understanding of the diverse societies we live in. Analysis and storytelling skills enable us to grasp the complexities of different cultures, bridging gaps and fostering empathy among individuals from diverse backgrounds. Through cultural reporting, we gain a deeper understanding of the historical context, social significance, and evolving trends within various artistic and cultural movements. In moment where our cultural landscape is constantly evolving we look to fuel collective curiosity, sparking conversations and encouraging dialogue that transcends borders and brings us closer together as a global community.
