The Roots Winter School 2023 provided space for discussions around the systemic injustices committed by the Global North on the Global South. Rooted in exploitative systems, these injustices depict a world defined by power imbalances and structures that reproduce colonialism, imperialism, fascism, and patriarchy. Integral to the dialogue was the incorporation of degrowth, reminding us of the responsibilities of…

With time, it showed that the power inside of us can emerge and be mobilised through the experiences of others. In fact, this is how a community can be empowered and thus how change can happen.
