Host a Workshop

The Goal

Share your knowledge, skills, and passion with Amsterdam’s seed sovereignty community. We invite educators, farmers, activists, and practitioners to propose a workshop or talk for our 2026 festival.

Who Can Apply

We welcome all voices

Each year we invite organisations and individuals to share a presentation, demonstration, or workshop with our community always free of charge. We seek a diverse mix of perspectives, combining local Amsterdam voices with national and international guests.

 

You don’t need to be a professional speaker or academic. If you have lived knowledge, practical skills, or a compelling perspective related to seeds, food, ecology, or autonomy, we want to hear from you.

Seed savers, market gardeners, permaculture practitioners, share your hands-on expertise directly with people who want to grow.

Working on seed policy, food justice, land rights, or corporate accountability? Bring your campaign to our audience.

Translate your work into something accessible and inspiring. Complex topics explained from the soil up.

NGOs, cooperatives, community gardens; introduce your work and build connections with like-minded people.
