2017 will see another Climate Camp! From the 18th till 29th of August there will be networking, education, arts and actions… and trying out tomorrow’s society right now – social, ecological and based on grassroots democracy. At the camp the Degrowth Summer School will take place for the third time, where the concept of degrowth is put into action: By learning practical skills and analyzing political and economic developments. During the action days in the Rhineland there will be different demonstrations and actions to suit everyone’s taste. Our video provides a great overview:

Climate Camps are the heart of the climate movement. Just like at other Climate Camps, in the Rhineland we will be….

• …living alternatives together: anti-authoritarian self-organisation, our own energy supply, compost toilets, music and much more!
• …creating networks. At the camp it’s not only people who meet, but also movements.
• …educating ourselves. There will be courses, workshops, open space, panel discussions, spaces and events for children and teenagers, and a cultural programme. We will deal with a diverse range of topics, from theoretical analysis of climate change to practical stuff like building a windmill.
• …developing actions. There have always been actions protesting against coal over the last few years at the Climate Camp. In 2015 Ende Gelände took place here, last year the action lab was our guest and in 2017 there will be many different actions as part of the Action Days in the Rhineland.
