WHY TALKING HOPE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

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\u2019s where we come in: Climate action, social justice, democratic participation and mental wellbeing are interconnected \u2013 when one is weakened, the others also come under pressure. A bold transformation, however, promises more health and wellbeing, more justice and more security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Youth protests across Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Conscription, rampant rents, crumbling schools, with growing social inequality and the climate crisis looming on the horizon \u2013 and anyone who protests gets branded a \u201cviolent mob.\u201d While conservative politicians warn of left-wing extremist escalation before anything has even happened, young people\u2019s actual concerns barely make it past a footnote. A look at the media discourse around the October 31 youth protests \u2013 and who really benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRead More<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

WHOSE FUTURE?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking Hope at the European Sustainability Transformation Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Too many people still feel left out of the sustainability debate. At Talking Hope, we work to change that. At the European Sustainability Transformation Conference in Berlin, our founder Eva-Maria McCormack argued that communication in the sustainability transformation is not simply about better messaging. It is about building relationships, creating spaces for dialogue and participation, and making sure the quiet majorities can become part of shaping change.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRead More<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Transformation requires hope.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hope is not a pink, gooey-eyed look at the future. It is the recognition\u202fthat we can change the world \u2013 and the courage to act into the unknown. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE TRANSFORMATION MANUFACTURY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Talking Hope builds public support for the socio-ecological transformation<\/strong> \u2013 through hope, deep listening and real participation at the intersections of democracy promotion, climate action, social justice and psychosocial health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reach the quiet majorities others often miss<\/strong> \u2013 through socially inclusive outreach that engages and mobilizes especially people in disadvantaged circumstances who make up a large part of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We prevent backlash and polarization against democracy and climate action<\/strong>: By engaging especially marginalized yet socially central groups, we strengthen trust, social cohesion and lasting support for democracy, climate action and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We work with civic society, philanthropic, public and private partners as well as the media to create and foster pathways for positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n

BUILDING BRIDGES AND CONSENSUS  <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
