Die Creatives for Futures are a grassroots movement that is committed to climate justice. Around 50 designers are currently active. Membership is voluntary, free of charge and open to everyone.
In conversation with Stefan Bergmeier
We regularly support other voluntary environmental movements, such as the “Scientists for Future”. In this way, we help others understand their important messages better and gain more reach. For example, we've redesigned the Planetary Boundaries infographic to make it easier for beginners to understand.
We also support the “Omas for Future” in visual communication. They have invented a climate quiz that helps them communicate better with their generation.
We are also making an impact on our industry, for example through free Zoom lectures. The next ones will take place in May.
Many of us go to global climate strikes, which usually take place in March and September.
We regularly receive inquiries. We can only support a few of them at the moment. That is why we are looking for new members to join us.

We are currently working on a service that will provide you with further recommendations once a month. You can already register for this via our website.
We use Slack for our group chat. There, you can ask questions about your own current topics, for example about environmentally friendly service providers such as web hosts or printing houses. You can receive an invitation to join our Slack Group through our monthly meetings via Zoom or by signing up to our newsletter.
I like the explanatory videos from”In short“Very much. They not only explain the topics very well, they have a positive and humorous storytelling. This encourages action.
We meet once a month via Zoom. We introduce ourselves to the new guy. You can ask questions and suggest projects.
