UVM is a non-profit organisation active since 2003. Here you can see what we do together with Moldova’s vegan community and how to take part: street actions, meetups and picnics, digital projects and open discussions.
What we do
Street action: the 3-Minute Film Challenge
We invite passers-by to watch a short clip about routine practices in animal agriculture in exchange for a vegan snack. Volunteers can then talk about veganism and its ethics. For volunteers, we provide placards and leaflets, and the event page links to preparation materials.
Picnics, cooking workshops and tastings
Relaxed get-togethers to socialise, share vegan food and spend time together. Non-vegans are welcome too.
Book clubs, discussions and trainings
We read, discuss and learn together. If you have an idea you would like to contribute, get in touch.
Digital and media projects
Online projects that inform people in Moldova about animal agriculture and promote vegan living, and that aim to unite the vegan community into a more effective force for social change.
