Games for degrowth

After the formal business, Degrowth games: a participative activity, open to all

We are always keen to explore effective ways of communicating about the degrowth alternative. At previous AGMs we have shared material objects that exemplify aspects of our philosophy and books, films etc that have inspired us. Last year, at the GM Green Summit, we used an activity on ‘green growth’ to demonstrate how, if you wanted to grow even a clean part of the economy, you’d need to reduce another part – we are in overshoot, after all.

For the AGM, we will do something quite simple that everyone can join in with. Bring along a game, almost any game will do. The idea is that most games could be adapted around the ideas of degrowth. So there’s a challenge for you: bring a game and ideas about how it might be adapted, or used to inspire a new game that explores or promotes degrowth. Be prepared to speak for a couple of minutes (no more) about it. For information about degrowth, see our FAQ

If coming, please be there at 7.00pm as we don’t know exactly when this part of the meeting will start.

We will also be available to answer questions about Steady State Manchester and how you might get involved.
