Impressions from the Degrowth Summer School and Conference

After three weeks of Degrowth events – a week-long summer school on Degrowth, neocolonial extractivism and the so called green transition, a one week bike caravan through rural Galicia visiting movements fighting the above, and the 10th International Degrowth Conference in Pontevedra – we want to share some impressions with you. For the organizers and participants it has been an unforgettable experience full of interesting discussions, community living and connections with activist, researchers and practitioners.
