Degrowth Group Assembly Process

Childhood

About

Working group formed for the International Conference on Degrowth 2014.

How does growing up look like in a degrowth society, which is not aimed at productive hierarchical and competitive work?

What kind of institutions of learning and care do we need in a degrowth society? And how can we address the challenges for institutional change in this field?

Results from Leipzig 2014

Ideas for Action – in communities

  • Participate in creating a library of resources: videos, books, articles, contacts, speakers, knowledge on degrowth for under-18s

  • When organizing events: always invite under-18s, always organize day-care/babysitting, think of other forms of presentation

Ideas for Action – in the next Degrowth conference

  • Integrate under-18s in the Conference, Examples: Pictographs, Accessibility

  • Call for Papers and Workshops for under-18s

  • Create new formats, maybe speakers present twice: 1. academic, 2. in an integrated, including way addressing young people (easy language)

  • Include topics children are interested in.

Research questions:

  • We don't know the basic needs of children. How can we create need-oriented spaces for children that allow their participation.

  • Question the “Childhood concept”: children are legally and socially discriminated by age, young people do have special needs... How can we avoid power abuse? What protection / reaction to their needs do children need?

  • What could be better discriminators for adulthood than “age”?
