Second edition of the Sentit Comunal congress: 17 January 2026

From Fundació Emprius –with the collaboration of Research & Degrowth, Ecologistas en Acción and Rebelión Científica–, we are organising a second edition of the congress “Sentit comunal”, this time focused on the theme “Rural world and popular culture”.

It will take place in Berga on Saturday 17 January 2026. You can now save the date! The congress will run all day.

It will touch on questions like village self-government through neighbourhood assemblies, trades and know-how, forms of communal work, projects for passing on knowledge… and festivity and celebration!

The first edition, focused on “Communalisms and degrowths” (opens in a new tab), sparked a lot of interest and drew a full house. The four blocks from that day were recorded on video.

As in the first edition, the day before the congress there will be a gathering of people interested in this perspective who are active in different collectives and organisations. This year the gathering is being organised by Research & Degrowth.

“Sentit comunal” is an initiative co-led by Fundació Emprius and Research & Degrowth to promote spaces for reflection on communalism and degrowth as much-needed perspectives for social transformation.

We will soon publish the dossier with the programme and all the information about the congress, at the following link:
