Talk for Change Project

In the course of our work at RB Media we connect with innovative charities, NGO’s and changemakers around the world. For our Talk for Change Project we publish interviews (and clips) with the people behind these projects. Our focus is on giving a platform to people whose lives and work remain relatively unreported outside their local area, region, sector or country.
