Local Hosts

We’re deeply grateful to be collaborating with the local host team Ecovisio, a grasroot organization founded in 1999 and a part of our network for a long time. Their work focuses around six key areas (climate, agrifood, waste, communities, education, enterpreneurship), reflecting their growth from environmentalism to sustainable development.

By linking these six areas in a holistic approach centered around people, they aim to achieve their vision of working together instead of alone, and by empowering each other instead of judging, to reach a critical mass and create impactful change for a better change, and bring systemic change.

Theme of the Festival

This year’s Festival invites you to dive into Moldova’s vibrant intersections of ecology, activism, and regional political landscape. In a time of in-between — rural and urban, autocracy and democracy, war and peace — we’ll gather to explore and reflect on the questions that shape this region and connect it with the broader MitOst Network perspectives.

From discovering the eco-initiatives shaping Chisinau, to joining a joyful Potato Festival in rural Riscova, you’ll have the chance to connect, share and create in formats like Open Space and different sessions offered by members. You’ll also meet the inspiring team behind EcoVisio and their Eco Village Moldova project — a living experiment in sustainable community-building.

No Members’ Assembly during this Festival 

The Member’s Assembly will not be happening during the Festival, but will take place as a virtual meeting on 13 November, 2025. All MitOst Members will be invited to join in the Member’s Assembly in due time.
