SUMMARY:Attac Summer Academy 2026 - Riding the Monster
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place in German. \n(The text below has been copied and translated from the original event website): \nDay after day\, the news paints a bleak picture of social developments: massive arms buildup and militarization\, a global struggle over raw materials and the energy systems of the future\, a rise in anti-feminism and gender-based violence\, radical attacks on the welfare state\, climate disasters\, rising fascism…\nAt first glance\, then\, there isn’t much reason to hope for a better world. But anyone who isn’t satisfied with that first glance can recognize the contradictions\, fault lines\, and counter-movements that also play a role in current developments. There is resistance; new alliances are forming; and issues once thought dead\, such as “socialization\,” are experiencing a resurgence. In many areas\, there is a struggle over the direction of development\, but concepts are still lacking on how these moments of rupture could be harnessed for emancipatory purposes. \nThe Attac Summer Academy aims to contribute to this effort. We are aware that a sustainable solution to these problems cannot be found in fairer capitalist conditions\, but only in a radical socio-ecological transformation of our modes of production and ways of life. But where could this transformation begin?\nHow do we achieve a just global financial order? What might a non-exploitative North-South relationship look like? How do we envision a society in which gender no longer plays a role?  How can we expand the sector of public services and remove it from the realm of the for-profit economy?\nFinding answers to such questions is certainly not easy. But together we can learn and discuss\, meet new people and discover new ideas\, share the joy of new insights\, encourage one another\, and return to our daily political work with renewed energy. \nThat’s why we need the Summer Academy. We look forward to seeing you there. \n  \nIn this context\, numerous workshops will address questions of democratic planning of economic processes:\n– Samuel Decker: Democratization of economic planning\n– Sabine Nuss: The myth of private property and possible alternatives\n– Vincent Janz: Public luxury; Socialization of the energy sector\n– Alex Wischnewski: Feminist socialization\n– Patrick Kaczmarczyk: Public holding companies\n– Paula Haufe: Public banks\n– Thomas Eberhardt-Köster: Socialization at the municipal level \nParticipation is free of charge\, and childcare is provided. Free sleeping accommodations are available in the schools sports hall. For more information and to register\, visit the event website.
