"Life in a Degrowth Community"

Training will take place in Jareninski Dol and Maribor 20.5.2019 -24.5.2019

Life in the Degrowth community is an experimental and experiential five-day training that will offer ten activists, youth workers and other interested people the opportunity to explore mental constraints on the way to communities that respond adequately to environmental, social and economic challenges, and not only mitigate them but also prevent it. In training, the participants will experience a self-sustaining life on the farm, and explore the growing practices in the city. Apart from working in the garden, we will also take care of the animals, while in the city we will explore integrated good practices and address the topics of comfortable and quality living conditions, including at the system level. The framework of training is the concept, philosophy, the Growth movement, which we will examine from a theoretical point of view with the help of experts.

“From growth mindset to degrowth actions.“

We live at a time when we are inseparable and at the same time depend on the whole world. Although we are constantly surrounded by information about how important it is to work well, be responsible and active citizen, we often do not have energy, will, time, resources or sufficient knowledge to incorporate positive changes into our everyday life - at the individual level, at the local level or global community.

In the next week, I'll tell you how the training was going on and what we did.
