What we do:

Humus supports groups and individuals in being active for socio-ecological transformation. Humus does not implement its own campaigns or actions. Rather, we provide a fertile soil for the joyful and effective growth of various initiatives, groups, organisations and networks.

Humus is open for enquiries from all emancipatory social areas to provide advice and support - with individual consulting and tailor-made offers, depending on the problem. Our standard-offer is divided into EducationConsulting or Support.

You can find our short info-leaflet here.

Who we are:

Laura (she)

Laura gets things done at Humus. A cool project idea that is not being carried out makes her fingers tingle. Then again: if things don't happen because she's spending time with her friends, it's only half as bad. Laura studied International Development and Business Administration and has worked in administration, facilitation and various projects.

At Humus, her favourite topics are organisational development and group dynamics.

Heli (he)

Heli generates 4 new ideas a day and gets annoyed that there aren't enough hours in the day to realise them all. Mainly because Heli also likes to sleep and even more so to climb. He studied philosophy and sociology and has worked in various NGOs on human rights, food sovereignty and in a participation office.

His favourite topics at Humus are action planning, mobilisation and movement ecology.

Jayda (keine)

Jaday ist die Zweigstelle der Impuls Akademie im Westen Österreichs und tätig bei Tipping Points. Außerdem ist Jayda treibende Kraft für Vernetzungen und internationale Kooperationen. Wenn Jayda nicht gerade in Online-calls hängt, engagiert sich Jayda in queerfeministischen Kontexten und forscht zu Geschlechtergerechtigkeit.

Jaydas Fokus liegt auf Vernetzung, Moderation und Bildungsprojekten.

Together, we have a passion for sharing knowledge and transferring skills. We also share a long-standing involvement in various social movements and NGOs (together and individually). Among others: aks, Asylkoordination, Anti-Privatisation Campaign in UK, Food Coops, Ny Tanintsika in Madagascar, Nyeleni, System Change, not Climate Change, Ende Gelände, Klimacamp, Südwind, ...

Who we work with

As a well-attuned trio, we can achieve a lot, but of course not everything! We bring other people/collectives on board for certain projects. For example, for the organisation of Tipping Points events.

Auch einzelne Workshops bieten wir gemeinsam mit anderen Referent:innen an oder leiten Anfragen direkt weiter, wenn es Kolleg:innen gibt, die bei einem Thema mehr Expertise haben als wir. In einzelnen Projekten zusammengearbeitet haben wir mit: Kampagnenbüro radius, Civil Action Network, Czas Kultury, educat Kollektiv, Kollektiv Radix, Convivial Garden, Skills 4 Action, Attac Österreich, Zentrum polis, Disrup Verein, Oxfam, Climate Action Network, u.a.
