IMAGINE TOMORROW.
THEN CHANGE TODAY.
Talking Hope is a non-profit workshop where people turn hope into action —
for climate action, democracy, social justice and public health.
Through socially inclusive communication, transformative campaigns and participatory
projects, we help build the majorities needed for lasting change.
WHY TALKING HOPE
Many people want a better future – but when it comes to making our lives and economies more sustainable, they often feel left out, unseen or overwhelmed. That’s where we come in: Climate action, social justice, democratic participation and mental wellbeing are interconnected – when one is weakened, the others also come under pressure. A bold transformation, however, promises more health and wellbeing, more justice and more security.
Talking Hope is a non-profit workshop where people turn hope into action. We build new alliances, connect diverse perspectives and create spaces where people become active together. We are experts in socially inclusive communication, transformative education and participatory projects that enable collective action and shared change.
Speak up!
Democracy is being tested this year
The year 2026 is only a few days old, yet it has already delivered political shocks that once again call the international order and social cohesion also in Germany into question. These developments demand more than quiet observation and smart analyses. They require us to stand up, take action and assume responsibility. The time is now: Speak up!
After COP30 – Time for us to step up
Now is the Time to Raise the Pressure
COP30 in Belém showed: The era of simply waiting for the next global climate deal is coming to an end. A new phase in climate action is emerging — one defined by plurilateral initiatives, by coalitions of willing governments and actors who are moving faster than the full UN process. That shift matters. But as the focus moves to these smaller-group initiatives, civil society and grassroots pressure become more, not less vital.
Workshop: “Too gooD to be wrong?”
25/11/2025 | 14.00-14.45 | Climate Future Conference 2025 | Zeiss-Großplanetarium | Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 Berlin
Misinformation about the climate crisis appears everywhere — at school, online and in everyday life. This workshop equips students in grades 5–13 with the tools to spot common tricks, fallacies and fake news, and to assess them with confidence. Perfect for anyone seeking clearer insight and a stronger voice in shaping our climate future.
Transformation requires hope.
Hope is not a pink, gooey-eyed look at the future. It is the recognition that we can change the world – and the courage to act into the unknown.

THE TRANSFORMATION MANUFACTURY
Talking Hope builds public support for the socio-ecological transformation – through hope, deep listening and real participation at the intersections of democracy promotion, climate action, social justice and psychosocial health.
We reach the quiet majorities others often miss – through socially inclusive outreach that engages and mobilizes especially people in disadvantaged circumstances who make up a large part of society.
We prevent backlash and polarization against democracy and climate action: By engaging especially marginalized yet socially central groups, we strengthen trust, social cohesion and lasting support for democracy, climate action and social justice.
We work with civic society, philanthropic, public and private partners as well as the media to create and foster pathways for positive change.
BUILDING BRIDGES AND CONSENSUS
It takes the world to change the world: To widen the consensus for a sustainable future, more people of all backgrounds must share in the conversation how to realize it. We respect diversity with diversity. Talking Hope is not just a team of experts. We are people with many different stories and many different origins. And that makes us even better.
