Our Community Involvement

At Kinos, we firmly believe that our success as a graphic design studio is measured not only by our creative achievements but also by our commitment to the community around us. We consider it our duty to give back and contribute positively to our society. Here’s how we actively engage with our community:


Support for Arts and Culture

Kinos supports various artistic and cultural initiatives. For several years, we have been offering free poster and book cover designs to emerging filmmakers and authors.

Mentorship Programs and Educational Engagement

We believe in the importance of passing on our knowledge and experience to new generations of graphic designers. That's why we have established internship programs for students in graphic arts and design. We offer workshops and discussion sessions to help young talents develop their skills and integrate into the professional world.

 

Kinos collaborates with educational institutions to support education in design and graphics. We give talks upon request in schools, colleges, and universities to share our expertise.

Partnerships with Charitable Organizations and Community Events

We have always collaborated with several foundations and charitable organizations to offer our help where we see the greatest need. We strive to support causes that are close to our hearts, such as Le Mûrier, an organization that provides concrete support to individuals dealing with mental health issues.

 

Kinos actively participates in supporting community events, such as the annual fundraising evening for the 4th Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment Foundation; we provide our visual communication skills to help promote and ensure the success of these events. We believe that these gatherings strengthen the social fabric and create lasting bonds within the community, as well as facilitate the collection of funds without which these organizations would not be able to intervene to transform lives.
