UTOPIES CONCRÈTES COLLECTIF

Both a manifesto, a map, a directory and a platform for debate and reflection, utopies-concretes.org is a self-managed online space, a space of liberty that aims to list all the initiatives, venues and projects that provide an alternative to commercial and/or state solutions in order to facilitate contacts between people in favour of alternative actions and develop exchange. It is a collaborative and open research tool; an invitation to become better acquainted with the hundreds of initiatives and movements in Europe: autonomy, self-management, degrowth, transition, resilience, self-build, DIY, hackers, ecosocialism, cooperatives, activism, the commons, convivialism, ecofeminism, anarchism, the third place, heterotopia, sobriété heureuse (happy sobriety), civil disobedience and many more.

Utopies Concrètes is a self-managed, thematic website for the archival and pooling (outside Google, Facebook, Twitter) of those collectives, medias, revues, festivals, documentaries and books of which we are fond. Utopies Concrètes is a group-written manifesto that federates the energy of each individual member. It is an extensible manifesto to define what we are fighting against and what is closest to our hearts, to formulate our political and philosophical positions and to explain in detail the points of discord and convergence.
