BUILDING BRIDGES FOR CHANGE

Change requires understanding – especially with those who disagree or have different needs. Our approach starts with listening, understanding and empathy.
Our expertise is socially inclusive communication that builds bridges and paves the way for new solutions and collective change.

FUTURE-READY MEANS:

Democratic Participation + Climate Action
+ Social Justice + Psychosocial Health

Being fit for the future is not a single-issue agenda: Climate action, social justice, democratic participation and mental health are interdependent, and progress in one depends on progress in the others. Talking Hope brings these goals together and turns them into practice through socially inclusive communication and transformative projects.

THE TALKING HOPE FRAMEWORK FOR SOCIALLY INCLUSIVE COMMUNICATION

Our work is guided by the Talking Hope Framework for Socially Inclusive Communication©, a science- and evidence-based approach rooted in communications research, psychology, didactics, political education, sociology and social work. We design formats that build trust and participation, develop realistic, inspiring future scenarios with diverse groups and strengthen self-efficacy and peer-driven engagement for a democratic, just and sustainable future.

The Talking Hope Framework for Socially Inclusive Communication^© can be used to improve climate and democracy communication in both organizational, political and personal contexts.

You would like to use our framework? Please contact us: We offer workshops, training, lectures and key notes.

Why Hope?

Creating a sustainable, socially just and democratic future takes courage – and the confidence that we can make a difference. Yet in today’s overlapping crises, many people feel powerless: Fear and worry block dialogue, participation and shared solutions. Hopelessness stifles collective action. Hope is political.

Talking Hope follows a hope-based approach that strengthens self-efficacy, participation and peer-led engagement. We develop compelling, realistic future visions that spark longing for tomorrow and ignite action today. In our work with diverse groups, we draw on our expertise in socially inclusive communications, psychology, didactics, political education and social work.
