GROWL is an international education network for degrowth formed by academics, practitioners, researchers and political activists.〔GROWL website, URL: http://co-munity.net/growl〕 One central aim of the network is to promote collective action across initiatives related to degrowth (e.g. Transition Towns, agroecology, Solidarity economy, DIY among other "nowtopias"〔Kallis, Giorgos, Kerschner, Christian and Martinez-Alier, Joan. ''The Economics of Degrowth.'' Ecological Economics 84: 172-180, 2012〕), in order to reduce the atomization and dispersal of initiatives that hinder their capacity to scale up and present a solid alternative to the dominant economic paradigm.〔Baptista, Gualter. ''Learning and building knowledge for degrowth: communities of practice and peer production across scales and beyond roles'', in Fourth International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity, Leipzig, 2014. URL: https://co-munity.net/conference2014/scientific-papers/3734〕 == History == GROWL was founded in 2013 by ten non-profit, research and higher education organisations under the coordination of the think-tank (Research & Degrowth ). The network build-up has been supported with a ca. €200000 grant from the Grundtvig programme for the period between August 2013 and July 2015.〔HNA. ''Gemeinschaft erleben'', 24.9.2013, URL: http://www.hna.de/lokales/witzenhausen/gemeinschaft-erleben-3130179.html〕 In 2014, the first international thematic courses took place: * Social dimension of agroecology * Solidarity & Cooperative Economy * Mental Infrastructures * Local Economic Alternatives 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GROWL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
