A jam packed day of community resilience, convivial technology and joy - prefiguring the truly sustainable world we need. The Degrowth Festival celebrates all degrowth-aligned activities by bringing together those interested in sharing skills and knowledge in a fun and convivial way. It is an enjoyable experience to illustrate the sorts of things that a future resilient community will need as collapse unfolds. This includes all manner of community-led stalls and activities that can help to serve us all well in building a society that will see us through in 'the long game'. These are things that any government is usually unable to provide for meaningfully given that the system is currently geared for consumerism and accumulation of money at all costs. Dancing and music. Workshops and talks. An exhibition on what is degrowth. And more! A full program will be released closer to the date. Bring your picnic and party under the trees! Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues economic growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritise social and ecological well-being instead of corporate profits, over-production and excess consumption. This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity, autonomy and sustainable prosperity for all. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries.
