A Note on Travel and Our Collective Impact

We are acutely aware of the contradiction in hosting an international event that may involve air travel, which is embedded in the same fossil-fueled system we critique. There are no easy answers. We propose this summer school as a strategic gathering for collective learning, unlearning, and building the networks necessary for systemic change—a focused input of energy to generate greater long-term output of effective, coordinated action.

We ask prospective participants to critically consider their travel choices, prioritising overland routes where feasible. We will facilitate a Telegram group for car-sharing and coordination after applications are processed. Furthermore, we will provide a sheet with accommodation options, including homestays within the R&Di and broader Barcelona degrowth community, as well as information on recommended hostels that align with our values (LGBTQIA+ friendly, eco-conscious).
