Join us to hear stories and reflections from the ground where people are using assembly processes to challenge the existing power structures and begin to re/create a decolonised relationship to power. Read more below
We’ll hear from:
East Africa - where people from 10 communities across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are coming together to challenge the colonial conservation approach that is destroying their ways of life.
Chile - where a constitutional process arose from a spontaneous uprising and assemblies, culminating in a constitutional assembly and a referendum on 4th September 2022
Scotland - where we are beginning to use local assembly processes to bring communities together across different emergencies, hopefully towards a citizen-led national assembly in 2024
In a day of online sessions, participants will share their experience of assemblies or community-based decision making processes:
Why did it happen, what led to the decision to hold one?
How did it work, what was challenging and what was successful?
What did it lead to, what happened next?
This will be a space where we can learn and connect with one another, be honest about our mistakes and failures as well as celebrating our successes and manage the roller-coaster of depression and elation in this work.
Reworlding’ means “reclaiming our humanity as part of nature: restoring human communities as part of the wider community of life"
This gathering is organised by Grassroots to Global: Redemocratising democracy, reclaiming our world.
