Join to Amplify the Change: Speakers for Awareness will be launched spring 2024!

Why Speakers for Awareness

Speakers for Awareness (SfA) is an idealistic speakers platform and was tested very modestly but extremely successfully in 2019 in the Netherlands under the flag of Green Cross Netherlands (part of the international sustainability and environmental organization Green Cross International, founded in 1993 by former President Mikhail Gorbachev).
During the Corona years, the SfA project came to a complete standstill.
It was picked up again in 2023. In 2024, SfA now has more than 100 participating Dutch motivated (top) speakers.
A number that continues to grow every month.

Speakers for Awareness is a platform with the following goals:

1. Offering speakers to the market who shine their light on ecological, social and economic sustainability and how to answer these challenges.
2. The speakers’ fees are distributed as a donation to what we call ‘impact projects’ from, among others, NGOs, foundations and organizations that work worldwide on the transition to a more just, more social and sustainable world with future prospects for all who come after us.
3. Increasing the awareness of and transition to a sustainable society on the one hand and directly supporting local, national and international impact project with similar goals on the other hand.

The world of speakers is a large market that attracts tens of millions every year in the Netherlands alone. This money is mainly used by commercial parties. SfA now wants to use part of this flow of money to accelerate sustainability development in ecological, social and economic areas.

For the further development and (global!) expansion of the SfA platform, GCNL is still looking for partners who, like the founders of SfA, believe that focusing on (investing in) ‘Connection’ and ‘Awareness’ are the most important tools to to meet the major challenges of today.
