SUMMARY:Green Academy Winter Seminar - Degrowth Kaleidoscope: Real-Existing Utopia(s) (Plitvička Jezera)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe Green European Foundation\, in cooperation with the Institute for Political Ecology\, the Open Society Initiative for Europe and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung – Prague office\, is organising the 3rd edition of the Green Academy Winter Seminar. \nThe seminar will focus on the ongoing debates around the Green New Deal and degrowth concepts and practices in the context of the climate emergency. Deeper avenues to be explored will look at the theoretical\, political and practical level and identify convergencies and conflicts. The seminar will allow for exchanges to develop strategies for concrete change and policies. \nParticipants will be introduced to “degrowth doughnut” visualisations\, underlining the cultural excesses and shortfalls in a democratic construction of a degrowth transition. \nA “kaleidoscopic” perspective of the movement and various interconnections and differences will explore specific sectors where degrowth can make a fundamental difference\, while also considering the significance of the emerging Green New Deal policies on both sides of the Atlantic. \nDemands for a socially just and planned transition need to be articulated precisely in order to head off reactionary responses to the climate emergency. And this we shall redesign as we go\, for the further Europeans slide into climate chaos without establishing a convivial sociality\, the more likely we are to contend with authoritarian and inegalitarian powers to which emergency conditions often give rise. \nThe politics of this historical dynamic – the actors\, alliances\, institutions and social processes creating degrowth transitions is the subject of lively debate in Europe and beyond\, shaping up right before our eyes. Given the fact that in 2020 Croatia will take over the EU Presidency\, we will aim to explore ways how our thinking and actions can become turning points for Europe to be able to take another course. \nProgramme\nFRIDAY 8th OF NOVEMBER \n15:00 DEPARTURE FROM ZAGREB (ORGANISED BUS TRANSPORT – PARKING NEXT TO MAIN TRAIN STATION (ACCROSS IMPORTANE CENTRE ENTRANCE) \n17:15 ARRIVAL TO HOTEL – CHECK-IN AND REGISTRATION \n18:00 WELCOME NOTE AND INTRODUCTION \nVedran Horvat\, IPE Zagreb\, Head/Board of Directors\, GEF \nNino Lejava\, HBS\, Head of Prague office \nJagoda Munić\, FoEE\, Director\, Bruxelles/GA program council \nDanijela Dolenec\, Faculty of Political Sciences\, Associate Professor\,Zagreb/GA program council \nPresentation of working groups: Clara Dellaire-Fortier\, Nikolina Rajković\, Andro Rilović\, Ajda Pistotnik \nEVENING CONVERSATION: ”DEGROWTH MOVEMENT\, THOUGHT AND ACTION IN THE MIDST OF CLIMATE COLLAPS” \nEvening conversation with Vincent Liegey\, Cargonomia\, Hungary/France \n20:00 DINNER \nSATURDAY 9TH OF NOVEMBER \n09:00 MORNING LECTURE – Tiziano Distefano \n”Social cohesion in the ecological transition” \n10:00 MORNING PANEL  \nGREEN NEW DEAL AND DEGROWTH – REAL-EXISTING UTOPIAS IN ACTION \nWith: Sean Sweney (TUED)\, Pawel Wargan (DiEM25)\, Marija Bartl (UA)\, Jagoda Munić (FoEE) \nModerated by: Danijela Dolenec and Vedran Horvat \n11:30 COFFEE BREAK \n11:30 WORKING GROUPS 1 \n\nLABOR\, DEMOCRACY AND DEGROWTH (Clara Dallaire-Fortier & Nina Rajković with Dario Farcy\, Sean Sweney and Marija Bartl)\nDEGROWTH AND DEBT (Ajda Pistotnik with Mark Perreira and Tilman Hartley)\nDEGROWTH (&) MUNICIPALISM (Andro Rilović with Eugen Vuković\, Eleanor Finley\, Vincent Liegey)\n\n13:30 LUNCH BREAK & WALK \n17:30 WORKING GROUPS 2  \n\nLABOR\, DEMOCRACY AND DEGROWTH (Clara Dallaire Fortier & Nina Rajković with Dario Farcy\, Sean Sweney and Marija Bartl)\nDEGROWTH AND DEBT (Ajda Pistotnik with Mark Perreira and Tilman Hartley)\nDEGROWTH (&) MUNICIPALISM (Andro Rilović with Eugen Vuković\, Eleanor Finley\, Vincent Liegey)\n\n19:30 DINNER \n21:00 DONUTS AND WINE EVENING TALK ON SUSTAINABILITY ON EUROPEAN (SEMI)PERIPHERY – \n\nMladen Domazet \nClara Dallaire-Forter\nJenny Ufer\nBranko Ančić\n\nSUNDAY 10TH NOVEMBER  \n09:00 MORNING LECTURE \nPetr Jiehlička\, Open University\, UK \nDegrowth lessons from the European East: self-provisioning\, sharing and the resilient food system \n10:00 WORKING GROUPS 3 \n\nLABOR\, DEMOCRACY AND DEGROWTH (Clara Dallaire Fortier & Nina Rajković with Dario Farcy\, Sean Sweney and Marija Bartl)\nDEGROWTH AND DEBT (Ajda Pistotnik with Mark Perreira and Tilman Hartley)\nDEGROWTH (&) MUNICIPALISM (Andro Rilović with Eugen Vuković\, Eleanor Finley\, Vincent Liegey)\n\n11:30 BREAK \n12:00 REPORTS FROM WORKING GROUPS  \n12:30 Post-growth awakening for EU: positioning degrowth agenda and international cooperation on climate action within the context of EU Croatian Presidency \nModeration: Dražen Šimleša \n13:15 Closing \n13:30 Lunch \n14:30 Departure to Zagreb \n17:00 estimated arrival \n\nThis event is a cooperation between the Institute for Political Ecology\, the Green European Foundation\, the Open Society Initiative for Europe and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung Prague office\, with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.
