We host intercultural events for sustainability, bringing people together through lectures, workshops, clean-up campaigns, and shared meals. These events focus on promoting inclusion, diversity, and sustainability, creating a space where people from all backgrounds can connect and collaborate.

Stop Whaling
Norway is one of only three countries in the world still practicing commercial whaling, despite most nations banning it. Our goal at World Saving Hustle is clear: to end whaling in Norway.
In collaboration with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), we raise awareness, gather support through petitions, and mobilize activists to protect these incredible creatures.
Take action—sign and share the petition or get involved in the project. Together, we can stop Norwegian whaling.

Sanctuary volunteering
We have volunteer days or so called “dugnads” at all of the animal sanctuaries in Norway. An animal sanctuary is a place where animals are brought to live and to be protected for the rest of their lives. We do these volunteer days both to help the animals and the people running the sanctuaries, and it’s also an amazing way to practise self care for activists as well.
