Between 30 August and 3 September 2016, Budapest will host two parallel,
yet complementary events. The 5th International Degrowth Conference will
foster discussion between scholars, researchers, civil society and
practitioners about their degrowth-related research and activities.
Simultaneously, across Budapest, Degrowth Week will bring discussions,
public panels, artistic performances and exhibitions, practical workshops
and conviviality events into public space. This open platform for degrowth
dialogue, practice, networking and expression will introduce Degrowth to
Budapest and its inhabitants, and also to the scholars, researchers, civil
society and practitioners being present at the conference.

If you wish to share your thoughts, experiences or artistic expressions
with Budapest and global degrowth communities, the time is now. The call
for Degrowth Week events is officially open. You can suggest events and
activities *until midnight on May 1st*.

The organisers will do their best to fit as many proposed activities in the
programme. But as the current requests for participation in the Degrowth
Week show, we will have to go through a selection process (see below). But
don’t worry, we will invite the non-selected proposals to relocalize and
self-organize their activities individually. A following call for such
decentralized activities all around the world will be published later in
the spring.

Please, register your event here:

Please join our Degrowth Week page <http://budapest.degrowth.org> and feel
free to share your ideas and projects.

All the best,

IMPORTANT NOTES:

* *Openness and Red Line:* The organisers have the right to reject a
proposed event if it does not comply with the principles of the conference
(see here http://budapest.degrowth.org/?page_id=407).

* *Selection process:* A selection committee, composed of members from
varied backgrounds, will review all the received proposals for activities
and select the best according to several criteria (thematic relevance,
clarity, originality and creativity, appeal, disciplinary cohesion,
quality).

* *Budget:* The organisers cannot take the responsibility to finance any of
the suggested activities. We will only help to coordinate, find suitable
locations and communicate activities. The Degrowth Week is organized based
on self-organizing/funding principles and we invite each applicant to
prepare a budget and indicate a suggested donation for each event.

Should you have any questions, please first check the Q&A section of the
website: http://budapest.degrowth.org/?page_id=329. If your questions are
not answered yet, please, feel welcome to send them to us at
conviviality at budapest.degrowth.org.
