Dear all!
On our first regular meeting we will discuss themes and working groups for this semester.

Working groups are how we organise most of our activities and a working group can be temporary or more long-term, but always focused on some activity .

Location: Direktörsvillan (Lundavägen 51 Malmö, Kirseberg)

See you there!

Welcome to our social kick-start of autumn 2025!

The meeting is a combination of a social event - a potluck/barbecue and a meeting. We will continue to discuss/plan for topics that where brought up during our spring meetings. Bring something edible to share for the potluck and/or something to put on the grill -and your preference of drink. Location: Direktörsvillan (gamla fängelset) Kirseberg (Lundavägen 51A).

If you are new and want to join our group you are welcome, but the meeting will not focus on presenting the group, as this meeting is more for members to catch up after summer and start the activities of the semester. Instead we have an introduction meeting for new members on the 30th - se info below.

We will celebrate the work of this semester with a study trip to Röstånga. Exact time and activities will be announced later, but count on a full day activity wehre we go together by train and bus to meet some of the engaged change-makers in the village, walk in the butiful nature around and eat together.

NOTE! To join this activity you have to sign up before so we have an overview of who will join and how many will join. The registration for the study trip will be sent out in the chat.

Welcome to this years Overshoot festival. The festival works as a reminder of the day we overshoot this years planetary resources. For Sweden this was already 10th of April this year, and for the whole planet May the 7th.

The festival is a joint event where several organisations come together under the joint mission of a fair transition to a sustainable future, and fill the park with activities for all ages and interests.

This year the Institute of Degrowth Studies Malmö is represented with an infotable where you can meet representatives from the group.
