Hi there! Are you fed up with the way things are in the world and think the current obsession with economic growth doesn’t make sense? Sounds like it’s time to grow out of growth! Come join us in exploring how to progress to a post-growth society and celebrating the degrowth movement!
Why GooG?
Our mission is to bring together researchers, activists, and practitioners to talk about how we can take action to realize degrowth.
We will host a range of interactive discussions and workshops focused on possible applications of degrowth at levels of policy, organization, and community, and we will hear about initiatives and ideas within the degrowth movement in Germany and discuss how we can collaborate more effectively to build the movement in Berlin.
