Seminar: Ökosoziale Transformationsprozesse regenerativ und gemeinschaftsgetragen gestalten
What is it about?
The starting point of our seminar is the global challenges, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and social inequality, caused by our way of linear economy, which is at the expense of people and ecosystems and whose negative consequences are particularly evident in cities worldwide.
Approaches to alternative local-level economies include concepts of community-based and regenerative economies. Additionally, Transition Towns worldwide advocate for an eco-social transformation in cities.
In our seminar, we would like to combine these perspectives with a focus on Passau, incorporating the practical initiatives "Solidarische Landwirtschaft Vereinte Wurzelwerke", "Unverpackt Laden Tante Emmer", "the repair workshop Innwerk e.V.", "the Transition Initiative Passau" as well as the "Theatercafé Passau with its socially used event room".
What does regenerative and community-supported economy mean?
Regenerative economy, within the context of the Donut Economy (KateRaworth), means that we operate within the nine planetary boundaries and above the social minimum, consisting of 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The goal is to shape the economy in such away that we go beyond the non-harm principle and work with and within the cycles of the living world and restore them.

Community-driven economy (Marius Rommel) is a new and innovative concept of designing an economy in such a way that the classical distinction between consumer and producer is abolished and instead a community of prosumers arises, which bears and takes responsibility for costs and risks together. Starting with solidarity farming (community supported agriculture), the eco-social transformation potential is increasingly being discovered in other industries in the form of community supported entrepreneurship (CSX).
