About us

We enable the open transfer of knowledge and best practices in the fields of sustainability and environmental protection with a focus on global, regional and local problems and questions.

Don't call us ecofreaks; we don't chain ourselves to trees but see and find the value in clean technologies, sustainable businesses, and local action.

Join us at our periodic meetups to hear personal stories, fascinating insights, and actionable advice you can start with right away.

Meet our friendly community of like-minded, open individuals at our events. We're a very international bunch!

Our events are in English, so you're welcome to join even if you don't speak Hungarian.

Do you know any great speakers or topics we should get going in the community? Contact us!

What to expect:
1. 18:10 - 19:00: Luca Michaletzky - Local communities as engines of systemic change
  How can city neighborhoods drive deep systemic change, and how can local communities build social resilience that weaves a stronger safety net for everyone? In this workshop, we’ll introduce Joanna Macy’s idea of The Great Turning and explore why sustainability alone isn’t enough. Through discussion and small-group brainstorming, we’ll cover how to find your passion or mission and turn it into community action. What practical projects can urban dwellers start? More importantly, why should they do it, and how can they facilitate the change? By the end, you’ll walk away with inspiring questions and concrete ideas for action in your own community.
2. 19:00 - 20:00: Mingling
  Have thought-provoking conversations and exchange ideas with other community members on the topic of sustainability. Drinks and snacks included!
This event's speaker is Luca Michaletzky, ecopsychologist:

Luca Michaletzky is a psychologist working from an ecopsychological perspective. She is also an organizer of the Világeleje community — a movement inspired by András Takács-Sánta’s book Világeleje (The beginning of the world) — and contributes to the websites vilageleje.hu (guiding people along the path of active hope) and kiutak.hu (offering over 100 ecological action tips for small communities).
