Descripció
The workshop will explore deeper root causes of the ecological breakdown, colonial and capitalist patterns of our growth based system and degrowth future visions. The workshop will focus on degrowth, ecological breakdown and radical utopias. Participants will: expand their understanding of the deeper root causes that lie beneath ecological breakdown; learn to identify capitalist and colonial patterns of our growth-based system and how their groups may reproduce them through narratives and actions; and become familiar with degrowth visions and develop skills of imagining radical utopias.
The workshop will be facilitated in English by two members of Degrowth in Action Timo (he/him) and Alex (she/her), and combines degrowth theory with embodied methods of critical pedagogies (such as theatre of the oppressed). Through this combination the workshop aims to create not only a deeper theoretical understanding of degrowth and radical utopian futures but also create embodied understanding beyond cognitive dimensions.
This workshop will be in charge of Degrowth in Action, a Barcelona-based collective.
