Circular Talks and Events
As experienced and passionate communicators, we nourish circular narratives based on shared values and circular culture. We co-create and contribute with expert insights to numerous talks, events and conferences.
Ladeja Godina Košir, as a renowned international circular economy expert, author, speaker, moderator, participates and contributes to more than 50 international events each year, connecting with the global circular economy and sustainability leaders, expanding and nurturing the power of networks.
Circular Change provides expert input and information on various topics and aspects of the circular economy as well as promoting the exchange of knowledge and experience to create synergies in cross-sector and interdisciplinary dialogues. Concrete circular practices and experiences from the ground is what we bring to the “global stage”.
