A Degrowth Tale
Our Mission
Through our sensing journey of the state of degrowth, we discovered the need for the degrowth movement to reach political and social platforms.
Telling a story about degrowth seemed like the most natural way to convey the message we think we need to share. The continuous and disproportionate growth of the economic system is the cause of the social and ecological problems that affect communities and ecosystems around the world.
We have chosen to share 'A Degrowth Tale' for two reasons: a tale is accompanied by a "moral", that is a teaching relating to an ethical principle or behavior; furthermore, by making animals impersonate the characteristics of humans, a context is created that can be applied to more situations and therefore more easily shared and understandable
Voices we heard
'The issue of space is crucial in this country and the spatial demand of economic growth cannot be fulfilled anymore, unless there is a dramatic transition to a new economy'
'The Dutch might have the capacity to plan a degrowth economy.'
'The housing crisis is the expression of tensions between economic growth and well-being.'
Envisioning Degrowth
Look around.
Is there something degrowing? What should degrow? What, on the other hand, should flourish?
