About us
The changing climate impacts us all. Yet we barely have a conversation about it in our daily lives. Other than, perhaps, talking about the weather with our neighbours.
This group will create a safe and non-judgmental environment to talk about the changing climate and planet and how it has already impacted our lives and those you know.
We intend to meet monthly - sometimes even weekly! Our chat will be themed around a topic - we will look into the impacts of climate change on our daily lives but also bring in experts to share knowledge, tools and emotional support on solutions we already have to address the climate crisis.
Our main goal is to create human connections regardless of who you are outside this group, reflect on our common or divergent experiences and views, and learn something new!
Anyone interested in better understanding climate change, biodiversity loss and their impacts on our daily lives are welcome. No specialist knowledge is required, and even if you are just curious about the topic, please join us. If you know a fair amount on the topic, please share it with us.
We invite everyone, including those with relevant expertise, to propose topics for our upcoming meet-ups. Thank you.

Humanise cities for social change: learning and discussion
Location not specified yetEver wondered how to make cities more human? Perhaps you also harbour a feeling that our neighbours in the same cities do not seem to care much about the causes that you are so passionate about, including climate change? Great that you got the itch for change and you are not alone!
Our modern city lives are stressful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be this way. And you might be able to find your own niche and connection to drive this change. With these thoughts, we’d like to invite you to a talk and discussion that will go deep into cities, human connections and activism.
Masho (they/them), our speaker joins us from Soko Foundation, which is dedicated to bringing the topic of community-oriented and ecological urbanisation to wider audiences and decision-makers. The team does this by working with youth adult groups, non-formal education, documentaries, research, innovative projects, direct support of urban initiatives, working with policymakers, creating publications, and much more.
Bringing knowledge from activism, architecture and urbanisation, Masho currently leads on the aspects related to Administration, Strategy, Education, Digital, Training at Soko.
The proposed agenda is roughly:
• Welcome & Introduction
• Overview of Soko’s mission on humanising cities
• The challenges and Soko’s proposal for change (community projects such as urban gardening, energy saving)
• Project invite: Urban gardening – applying permaculture in the city context
• Break out discussions: using a map to guide more localised discussionsHope to see you at this event to explore how you can contribute to humanise cities and bring more energy into social change in cities!
The event is free for everyone. We kindly ask for a donation of 3-5 euros (depending on the amount of attendees) to cover the cost of space rental and Meet-up subscription fee for the group. Thank you!
