Sopa is a collaborative studio that uses design principles to create positive social change.
​
Our goal is to bring people together to stir the pot of possibility.
The cook
I'm Lucia Caistor-Arendar and I'm a terrible cook! But I love helping people come together to create wonderful ideas and find their way through tough challenges.
I use a unique blend of social research, co-design and facilitation to inspire meaningful change. Building on over a decade of experience, the three pillars underpinning my approach are: collaboration, creativity and care.
Why sopa?
The studio emerged in Lisbon, where soup (sopa) is a deeply embedded in the culture. Soup brings people together, it creates an opportunity to learn, connect and share.
I don't have a fixed recipe, I like to stir things up and experiment with different methods, collaborations, activities and projects.
So if you are looking for a place-based social researcher, a creative learning partner or a co-design facilitator get in touch!
