The Cultural Turn: How to Centre Creative Power for Ecological Change
...a safe space for leading experts
17-19 JUNE 2026
About our Annual Forum
Our annual forum gathers 80 experts for 2.5 days in the Swiss Alps to tackle a specific environmental challenge in an intimate, safe, and unique environment.
Acknowledging the complexity of systemic change, TKF aims to bring together global stakeholders from all sectors, including leading business frontrunners, innovators, policy makers, NGOs, conservationists, investors and creative minds, to highlight the interdependence of the issues at stake and to encourage cross-pollination of information, ideas and projects.
Our workshops and discussions take place in a beautiful chalet on the Madrisa mountain. Due to the relatively small nature of the forum, the community develops a sense of kinship during workshops, dinners, and alpine activities creating an ideal environment to foster connections and effective relationships needed to find collaborative solutions for urgent environmental challenges.
By invitation only.
The Focus on Centering Creative Forces for Ecological Change at TKF26 and TKF27
In a world disrupted by ecological breakdown, political polarisation, and conflict, we need fresh approaches to spark collective action and enable transformative environmental change. Despite the urgency of environmental messaging, a disconnect remains between awareness and action. Facts alone don’t transform systems — we must also ignite empathy and imagination.
Culture opens the door to rethinking environmental challenges through fresh, dynamic perspectives that reshape how we relate to one another, to nature, and to future generations.
In the next two forums, we will create a personal space for creatives, scientists, cultural producers, artists, humanist thinkers, media voices, environmental organisations, policymakers, investors, philanthropists, and tech innovators to join forces towards regenerative futures.
