Women, the Crisis and (Radical) Social Care (@ Social Center Rog / Tiffany)

The idea is to discuss the specific ways in which women are affected by the crisis, gender-specific exploitation and how to build radical emancipation from below. Linking this to the formation of the group Insurgent (Women) Social Workers, which arose from recognising women’s perspective within the crisis and also the role of social work in advocating the Insurgence and adding forgotten/overlooked content to it. Focal point of the discussion then being how to radicalise the system of (social) care, how to build alternative practices within the community (or why we believe all women are in a way social workers).

08:30 – 10:00 Breakfast and coffee (@ Social Center Rog)

10:00 – 13:00 Workshop 5

The Perspective of Struggles in Europe (@ Social Center Rog)

Perspectives in the political process of struggles is a two part workshop. One part will focus on bringing in concrete practices of struggle such as building Blockupy Europe, common struggles in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Maghreb, and 15M. The other part will be a focused discussion on the meaning of, and practices of engagement in, a European social strike. We will also ask ourselves how this process takes us from welfare to commonfare?

14:00 – 16:00 General assembly

The Constituent Process (@ Social Center Rog / Tabor Park)

The final assembly has a goal of putting emphasis on the crisis of representative politics and the possibilities for implanting the constituent process from below. Within this we will discuss how we get from mass mobilization to self-organization of needs, on local and transnational levels.

All workshops are “works in progress” and reflect the general content of proposals and ideas we received. Keep sending ideas to soc.center.rog@gmail.com and consider the workshops as open discussions also on related themes.

All workshops will be held in English. If necessary, we will try to organize simultaneous translation.
