In 2026, Degrowth Festival returns for its fourth consecutive year with talks, workshops, communal meals, and art; because it still feels—and more urgently than ever—necessary to gather citizens, researchers, artists, and activists to explore new pathways for societal transformation.
This year, we focus on transformation itself and on the alternative processes already emerging in the cracks of the current system.

We will explore the following topics:
- How can we make degrowth and the climate justice crisis once again the forefront of the agenda?
- Rethinking the Nordic welfare state model
- The abolition of AI and the reclamation of technology for the collective good

👉️️️️️ DEMONSTRATION: RÖSTA FÖR DEMOKRATI, KLIMAT OCH MÄNSKLIGA RÄTTIGHETER - Bort med Tidöregeringen!
📅 lördag 12 september från 12:00 till 16:00
📍 Stortorget, Malmö

Utvecklingen de senaste fyra åren under Tidö-regeringens styre har varit katastrofal på många sätt. Demokratin har urholkats och mänskliga rättigheter har försvagats, klassklyftorna i samhället har fortsatt öka och det har skett en historisk ökning av klimatutsläppen. Vi behöver därför rösta bort Tidö-regeringen den 13 september!

Den 12 september samlas vi på Stortorget kl. 12:00 och går sedan ungefär kl. 13:00 mot S:t Johannes kyrka vid Triangelns station för att demonstrera för demokrati, klimatet och mänskliga rättigheter, och mot Tidö-regeringen!

På Stortorget kommer det att vara flera tal, och under demonstrationen kommer jazzgruppen Jazz for Climate Justice att spela.

Vårt manifest:

* Stärk de demokratiska rättigheterna för alla, nya som gamla svenskar, stad som land.

* Satsa stort på en rättvis klimatomställning som inte kränker samernas rättigheter.

* Minska de ekonomiska klyftorna.

* Beskatta de superrika.

* Föra en human flyktingpolitik.

* Stärka folkbildningen, välfärden och biståndet.

* Jobba för fred och nedrustning.

* Se till att alla kan äta sig mätta på god, näringsrik och hållbart producerad mat.

* Agera för en samhällsomvandling utan kapitalism.

👉️️ Alternatives to AI: resisting inevitability narratives in the workplace

#Copenhagen #AI #noAI #labor #discussion

Hej!

This is our #introduction / #introductions

We are the Institute for Degrowth Studies, based in #Malmö #Sweden. We are an association (“ideell förening”) founded with the aim of spreading knowledge about #degrowth, creating and/or supporting activities aligned with degrowth, providing opportunities for our members to learn more about degrowth, and fostering collaboration both locally and internationally with other degrowth groups and organizations that share similar values.

After organizing the 6th International Degrowth Conference we have arranged study circles and study visits, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and projects. We have also collaborated with other civil-society organisations for public events and activities.

As part of prefiguring the world we want to see, we are now happy to also have a presence on the #fediverse. We will post updates of related events in the area and share other relevant materials!

👉 Workshop series: Socio-ecological transformations and degrowth
📅 Sunday May 3rd, May 9th or May 17th from 13:00 to 17:00
📍ABF Malmö.
🎟️ Free entry, registration required

Join us for a series of three workshops for young people – activists, students and other members of civil society – to address the socio-ecological crisis facing our society, help identify alternatives to it and strategies for how to get there.

The first workshop will explore the economic roots of current socio-ecological problems, addressing the roles of economic growth, #technology and #capitalism and their impacts in countries in both the Global North and the Global South.

The second workshop will explore alternatives to our current economic system, starting with a presentation on #degrowth followed by a panel discussion with local initiatives and organisations who are already doing things differently.

The third workshop will focus on different strategies for socio-ecological #transformation

RE: @degrowthmalmo@climatejustice.global

Malmö Järnhandel is a small independent iron monger that has been in the city center for the last fifteen years. The store was known for its "tool pool", you can go there to borrow any kind of power tool for free! The owners are retiring and have put the shop up for sale. A group is now raising funds to take it over run it as a co-operative to make sure this type of store and the tool pool can remain part of the community!

RE: @degrowthmalmo@climatejustice.global

Tuesday's screening had an example of grass roots struggle for economic democracy from Italy:

A profitable factory creating bar shafts for Maseratis is shut down by investors, organized workers campaign to socialize and retool the plant. Rather than luxury goods they aim to create photovoltaics and cargo bikes.There is large popular support, but local power brokers are thwarting the model. Economic democracy is anathema to capitalism. Europe seeks to reindustralize by re-armament, the ex-GKN workers propose a different model.

Now the ex-GKN collective are running a fundraising and awareness campaign. Read more about the initiative here:

There are many of us who object to the fascist logic of the machine, but we are fragmented and isolated.

"Malmö Järnhandel har varit ett stående inslag på Stora Nygatan 24 sedan den startades av Matti för mer än 15 år sedan. Nu ska Matti gå i pension, men det behöver inte betyda att järnhandeln läggs ner! Hjälp oss att kollektivt köpa och driva butiken vidare!"

Two #degrowth related events this week:

🕒 Thursday, April 24, 2025 12:00 PM - 13:00 PM at AUD3 in #copenhagen or online

CCIT Seminar with @neil_selwyn@mstdn.social on Digital Degrowth

"In 2020, Wired magazine declared degrowth to be "the worst idea on the planet". Three years later, Marc Andreessen called out degrowth as a "bad idea" and an "enemy" to technological progress. Taking inspiration from Andrew Ahern’s observation that "degrowth pisses off all the right people", Neil Selwyn considers what degrowth and post-growth thinking might have to offer those looking to radically break away from the destructive modes of digital excess that have come to define the first few decades of the twenty-first century. In short, this talk considers a deceptively simple question - how might degrowth thinking support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies?"
