Collective Steps #4: A Festival of Solidarity and Change
September 20, 2024 - September 21, 2024
The TerraVerde Collective for Alternative and Solidarity Trade (Green Earth) invites you to the 4th “Collective Steps” festival on September 20th and 21st at the San Salvatore Bastion in Chania.
For two days, the bastion comes alive with discussions, booths from collectives, producers, and cooperative ventures, performances, and plenty of music. We meet, converse, and strengthen the networks that unite us. We discuss the issues that motivate us, including the right of people with disabilities to work, grassroots organization, and respect for producers, the land, and the environment.
Collective steps against isolation. Because systemic problems are not individual, they are social and are addressed collectively. Collective steps so that we can live and remain creative by building supportive and companionable structures. Small, collective steps with Solidarity as our compass.
