Barcelona Action Circles

The Barcelona Action Circles is envisioned to become a global catalyst for post-growth transformations.

The project brings together motivated stakeholders from various sectors who advocate for socio-environmental justice and seek transformational change in their respective sectors, movements or political contexts.

R&Di holds separate intra-sectorial discussions (Circles) with the aim of building relationships among participants and joint plans for collective intervention in the ‘cracks’ of the current socio-political system.

The goal of each Circle is to develop actionable policies, alliances and implementation strategies for a just transition towards a post-growth society. Each Circle will be facilitated by a separate facilitator, rotationally moderated from within the group of participants. They feature interventions by renowned post-growth academics. Meetings of all the Circles are held online, culminating with an in-person meeting of participants from all Circles in Barcelona.

Currently, there are three Action Circles in progress; the Action Circle on Post-Growth Finance, the Action Circle on Mediterranean Ecofeminism and the Action Circle on Labour Movement, and the Degrowth Media Circle starting on March 24th!
