We support the call for the nationwide gathering of the collective economy and wish all participating enterprises and fellow organizers a successful meeting!
Surrounded by capitalist competition, it is always a challenge to develop and implement solidarity-based alternatives. Nevertheless, in recent years and decades, new collectives have been founded throughout Germany and in a wide variety of sectors in order to counteract the neoliberal lack of alternatives and the associated individualization and competition.
Collectives want to work together on an equal footing, pool resources and responsibility, make decisions on an equal basis, and operate not for profit but according to need – both socially and at the level of individual collective members.
What this requires, what such principles look like in everyday life, and what difficulties need to be overcome – collectives can discuss these and other questions at the next nationwide networking meeting near Kassel. The aim is to strengthen each other and build common structures. This will certainly build on previous meetings!
Date: March 26 to 29, 2026
Target group: collectives only
Location: Lebensbogen, Zierenberg near Kassel
Registration is expected to be possible from January 2026 and will be sent out via the nationwide collective mailing list.
If you are a collective and would like to be added to the mailing list or have any other questions, please contact us: orga@kollektivvernetzung.org
