MUNI
Communication partner
MUNI was born in 2012 from reflection on the impact of our everyday choices on our own well-being, our society and the environment. They were fuelled by the desire to grow a community to discuss issues and ideas with, and to draw hope from, feeling the need to share stories of individuals and organizations doing what they can, in their own capacity, and helping grow a culture of mindfulness towards a more liveable world. MUNI is powered by a small team with big hopes, and are supported by the contributions of creatives, academics, entrepreneurs and advocates from various disciplines and backgrounds.
MUNI contributes to creating a more mindful, liveable world by organizing learning and community-building events, producing original content, sharing resources on social media, and collaborating with like-minded organizations on projects that move sustainable development forward.
