Nordic Gathering - how can we rethink the Nordic welfare state model through the Degrowth lens?

📍 Location: ABF Malmö, Sweden
📅 Date: September 4–6, 2026

Join us for an enriching weekend in Malmö as we dive into the realms of political ecology, degrowth, and social justice transformation! This gathering builds on local workshops from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, aiming to foster discussions among those with a foundational knowledge of these topics.

Key Discussion Themes:

• Making Degrowth and Climate Justice Central: How can we prioritize these pressing issues?
• Rethinking the Nordic Welfare State Model: Innovative approaches for a sustainable future.
• Technology for Collective Good: Exploring the possibilities of abolishing AI.
• Global Relations: Delinking the Global North and South.

🌱 Participants will benefit from covered travel, accommodation, and food during the gathering, thanks to project funding, especially for those aged 30 and under.
🚆 For those traveling from Denmark and Norway, travel support is available through national partner organisations and may extend to participants from other Nordic and Baltic regions via the Norwegian partner, Foreningen Robust.
