Radical Democracy: French National Meeting of Inhabitants Power 2022

To give you an idea of the program we plan for now : –> Friday evening round table 1 : Facing the actual crisis should we radicalise democracy ? –> Saturday morning round table 2 : Radical democracy : an overview from middle-age until now –> Round table 3 : “Democracy of the commons” : the local scale is it the privileged echelon for radical democracy ? –> Round table 4 : For an ecofeminist radical democracy ! Parallel to those round tables, each of the speakers will develop their ideas in smaller workshops on more precise and practical topics. We will finish the day with a popular ball to express our body after thinking too much ! About the process of organisation : we are all volunteers in Nantes en Commun (about 30 persons giving more than 3 days by week) and remunerated with food we grow ourselves, and soon electricity we produce ourselves (water mill). We use auto-organisation like a daily process, by creating circles around tasks. There are two persons working on the organisation of each round table, a logistic team and a communication team. We choose together the main orientations and coordinate ourselves once a week and then we apply it : people who do things decide for it. We are inviting people to talk about the Rojava experience, the Chiapas, the Chili movement of constitution, municipalists movement from Lille, The Union of the limousine Mountain, Camarades from municipalists movement in Naples, Barcelone. Ecofeminists activists from Bure anti-nuclear movement, French historians, and searchers… And more. We wish to gather them to draw the outlines of the different strategies around radical democracy and bridges we can create between our experiments. We expect to gather 500 persons again this year during the 3 days. We wish for the third edition that it will be in another city !
