Keynote “HOPE: OUR GREATEST FORCE FOR CHANGE”

At the annual Women’s Conference of the HEGGE Christian Educational Center, the 2025 focus is on hope, explored through perspectives from society, theology, and the church. Eva-Maria McCormack will open the conference with a lecture in which she discusses hope as a very worldly, action-oriented force for shaping a sustainable and socially just way of living together.

Workshop: “Too good to be wrong?”

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.

Workshop: More than Climate – How to Listen and Speak More Fairly and Effectively About Climate Action

In this climate communication workshop at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change, Eva-Maria McCormack and Dr. Frederik Metje explore why socially inclusive communication holds the key to greater success in climate action. They show how to overcome fear-based narratives in climate discourse and highlight the power of genuine listening in winning more people over for the climate cause.
Together with participants, they will practice strategies to reach those who have so far remained on the margins of the climate conversation.

From ‘Climate Crisis’ to ‘Shaping the Future’

Climate action is facing a profound crisis. Public discource on climate is increasingly polarized, politics and the media have shifted their attention elsewhere — while the 1.5°C threshold is about to be crossed. How can we respond? In her keynote, our founder Eva-Maria McCormack offers inspiring perspectives on how we can foster the transformation toward a sustainable society built on shared well-being.
