One of our highlights 2017 was the conference "Self-Determined & in Solidarity - migration, development and ecological crises". Its success keeps us motivated to further seek the connection of movements. In this newsletter we want to give you an insight into the conference - as well as the debates on our blog. Enjoy the read!

It took place from October 6 to 8 in Leipzig, Germany, treating questions such as: What is the connection between the debate around a just design of migration and the one around an ecological and social economy? What are the links between alternative concepts such as „Degrowth“ or „Post-Development“ and a postcolonial perspective on the causes of flight? Why do migrants start their journeys and what do we mean when we call for "self-determined development"? Participants treated these quesions in workshops, panel discussions, theater performances and exhibitions. The conference connected the topics of flight and migration, self-determined development and ecological crises - and built bridges between the respective movements: from freedom of movement and anti-racism to agriculture, degrowth and climate justice. You can see several panel discussions and lectures as videos <https://www.degrowth.info/en/self-determined-in-solidarity/documentation/>. In addition, we have published a photo gallery <https://www.degrowth.info/de/selbstbestimmt-solidarisch/allgemein/bilder-der-konferenz/>of the conference. [image: ---] Take part in mapping degrowth activities The Degrowth Support Group, which promotes the International Degrowth Conferences, has launched *a short survey to find out who is already working on degrowth where <https://degrowth.community/surveys/mapping-degrowth-worldwide> *and then start a map with this information. If there is sufficient drive, a loose network can also evolve. The map will aim to facilitate those interested in degrowth to join a nearby group and work together on the territory, while connecting already existing groups. It is an attempt to bring groups and individuals together for political and practical actions on degrowth. To organize and build synergies for joint action on degrowth we need to know who we are and what our ideas are. *> Take part in the survey* <https://degrowth.community/surveys/mapping-degrowth-worldwide> Feel free to forward the survey to groups who you think might be interested!

Isn’t decolonisation about undoing the historical colonisation of land, languages and minds?
