Project Description
Seoul NPO Trend Report
How can we get a broader understanding of the nonprofit sector while also gaining deep insight into the changes it is facing? In 2019, we attempted to do so with the Seoul NPO Support Center through the NPO Trend Report. We held in-depth offline and online interviews with activists in various NPO settings to glean what changes were coming in the near future. We also asked the activists how they felt about the changes they were describing and what endeavors they wanted to pursue because of and in spite of this change. The NPO Trend Report is not just a list of predictions; it is a perusing of the minds of activists who pursue unchanging values in an era of rapid transformation.
Project Processes
- We allowed activists to ask deep, self-reflective questions while designing our interviews.
Project Insights

- Reinventing Organizations: Redefining the nature of organizations has become a new movement in itself.
- Sense-based living: The desire to create tangible change in daily life has usurped working for a grander, intangible cause.
