“We felt there was a lack of methods for educational outreach on the topic of economic growth and post-growth, which is important to us, and we wanted to fill that gap.”
Following this claim, FairBindung e.V. and Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie developed a method booklet (first edition) in 2012 entitled Endlich Wachstum.
The focus is on the question of what a world can look like in which all people can live well within the ecological limits of the earth.
The Endlich Wachstum website offers additional materials on the topic and related areas.
Under areas such as “Function and myths of growth”, “Competition or cooperation” or “Economy and me?”, speed dating with music, exercises for the visualization of knowledge, or experiments on images of people in business are presented as concrete methods.
The collection of materials is suitable as a basis for pedagogical or activist work and in particular offers young people between the ages of about 15 and 20 access to the topic of economic growth, its limits and alternatives.
