Global Degrowth Day

Every year, on the first Saturday of June, we celebrate Global Degrowth Day, where many different public events are organised worldwide to share alternatives to a growth-based society and celebrate degrowth!

How to participate?

Here are some examples of what you could do:

  • Organise a demonstration for a local social or environmental struggle, voicing your demands to communities, municipalities, and governments.
  • Host a workshop on degrowth and its intersection with a topic of local relevance or interest.
  • Throw a party to celebrate the achievements of the degrowth community and to raise awareness of our struggle.
  • Host a discussion on the socio-ecological impacts of endless economic growth and how they appear in your local area (for example, the privatisation of natural or the building of a mega infrastructure project)
  • Facilitate a gathering to discuss a pressing issue in your local context from a critical perspective and co-design actions for local advocacy.
  • Or simply gather for a picnic and conviviality! 

Everything goes!
