We want a new economy: green, social and democratic

22.9.2025 At the end of August, we organized Interweaving – a five-day educational gathering of people striving for a more just world. Over a hundred people attended from all over the country, representing more than 30 different organizations, collectives, unions, and groups. The aim of the meeting was to meet and get to know each other across cities, towns, and groups dedicated to issues of climate protection, affordable housing, social justice, feminism, the fight for workers' rights, digital security and more. We wanted to create a space to learn together, devise collaborations and strategies on how to be stronger in times of rising far-right extremism. But also to have fun, relax, move our bodies, and create something with our hands. The venue for Proplétání was provided by a social cooperative Volavka na Pomezí, which provides affordable rental housing and space for activist groups to meet, plan, and relax.

9.9.2025 Across Europe, it‘s not only the temperatures dramatically rising, it’s the rents, too. Tenants often live in precarious conditions and spend a significant portion of their incomes on basic needs, such as housing. Many of their homes are in bad shape – due to heat waves, they’re almost impossible to live in during summer and winter, on the other hand, means high energy bills for heating. Decarbonisation of housing is a necessity in order to mitigate climate crisis and to improve the lives of tenants already living in precarious conditions. The goal is to achieve socially just housing renovations without the costs falling on the shoulders of the vulnerable. In 2024, four organisations got together and took a step towards strengthening already existing alliances while also creating new ones across housing and climate initiatives.

30.4.2025 We are systematizing our workshops and trainings so that we can better share the knowledge and skills needed to build our groups and organizations. You can find an overview of the areas in which we can support you and your movement here!
