WHAT ARE THE EARTHTALKS?
The EARTHtalks are a civil society initiative. The talk- and networking-event brings together NGOs, social entrepreneurs, public institutions and interested members of the public and engages them in dialogue with each other and national and international guest-speakers, who are committing their work to the protection of our planet.
The contributions of our speakers are the most important means of inspiration on this special evening. With their moving stories and their knowledge from science, activism, art, culture or politics, they give impulses to act. After the talks all guests are invited to the networking part and the organic buffet.
The patron of the EARTHtalks is Federal President, Alexander Van der Bellen.

GOALS OF THE EARTHTALKS
NETWORKING between the interested public, NGOs, business and public institutions.
INFORMING the public about current ecological and social issues.
COMMUNICATING eco-social projects, ideas and initiatives.
INSPIRING ACTION and providing the motivation to act.

WHO ORGANIZES THE EARTHTALKS?
The EARTHtalks have taken place in Vienna annually since 2008 and are organised by NEONGREEN NETWORK, a charity founded by the viennese graphic-designer Angie Rattay.
