A movement for more conscious choices

From walking
to action.

Walk more. Buy less. Choose better.

walk4future® brings together walking, fashion and collective action. Through challenges and real-world encounters, we encourage people to rethink consumption and put more conscious choices into practice.

What these figures tell us

These are a dated snapshot of walk4future’s published project totals, not a live counter. Challenge results are based on participants’ reported activity and consumption decisions. The euro total combines reported savings and redirected spending; it is not project revenue or a donation total.

The figures document participation and reported choices. They do not establish how much behaviour changed because of the project, or quantify avoided emissions. Read Martina’s approach to assessing campaign impact.

The person behind the movement

One woman’s walk.
A shared direction.

In 2024, Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey set out on foot from Austria towards Paris to bring people and ideas for a better fashion future together.

That personal commitment became walk4future®: a meeting point for people questioning how we consume, for local changemakers and for partners willing to turn an idea into action.

As a model and speaker, Martina connects fashion with questions of responsibility and personal agency. walk4future is where that commitment takes a practical, participatory form.

Good to know

A few questions, answered.

What is walk4future?

walk4future® is an initiative founded by Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey in 2024. It connects walking, conscious fashion consumption and community participation through challenges, events and collaborations.

Can I take part from outside Austria?

Yes. You can join the online walk&change Challenge from wherever you live. In-person events take place in specific locations; the event calendar lists the details.

What does “Join the 25%” mean?

It is our invitation to help make more conscious choices visible. Research by Damon Centola and colleagues found that committed minorities could change an established social convention in a controlled experiment, with a tipping point around 25% in that setting. The authors explicitly state that 25% is not a universal threshold. We use the idea as inspiration, not as proof that a particular number of participants will transform the fashion system.

How can my organisation work with walk4future?
