Ecological and social challenges require “out-of-the-box thinking “
One topic that is increasingly gaining attention is the idea of shifting the development paradigm of the Global North towards a post-growth future, enabling countries to thrive, rather than simply to grow.
Post-Growth Pathways of the Global North
We invite you to engage with us in a thought experiment: What would post-growth pathways in the Global North imply for countries of the Global South and the development cooperation sector?
Participants will
- Get an introduction to the main concepts of post-growth
- Hear what scientists from the Global South say about postgrowth concepts
- Discuss with peers the applicability of post-growth concepts to your own work (i.e. the development cooperation sector)
- Define insights and concrete actions that you may want to integrate in your work
What? 2-day seminar on the implications of postgrowth economic thinking for the Global South and the development cooperation sector
Who? Development workers / People interested in development cooperation
