The System Change Camp emerged from the climate justice movement and takes place annually to provide a space for encounters, networking, education, skillshares, strategic discussions and cultural programs.

The organisers of the System Change Camp are a loose group of individuals. We are committed to being anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, anti-authoritarian, anti-ableist and anti-patriarchal.

We are driven by a good life for everyone in solidarity with one another and intact ecosystems.
Our main task is to organize an annual camp. These camps are meant to serve as a networking platform for different groups to spread our political values.

We want to design the camp structure in such a way that everyone can get involved as much as possible and can contribute to and shape the camp through self-organization. We strive to avoid a consumer-oriented character of the camp. Our cooperation and our actions should be free of sexism, queer and trans hostility, racism, anti-Semitism, unequal treatment due to physical or
psychological impairments (ableism) and unequal treatment due to social class (classism).

To ensure that people feel welcome here and are well integrated, we want to offer various services, e.g. for people who are joining us for the first time. We want to work together in an inclusive and non-discriminatory way in order to offer people who are affected by the aforementioned forms of discrimination, as well as people with no previous experience, as safe a space as possible to thrive. We want to practice living and working together in a way that would be possible in a world in which a good life exists for everyone.

Let’s get to know each other, network, learn, develop strategies, and become more capable of action!
Come along, mingle and enrich the camp with your content! We would like to explicitly invite all people whose voices have so far been heard far too quietly or not at all in the political discourse to get involved in shaping the content of the camp.

We are aware that there may be challenges and potential for conflict arising from the tension between capacities and wishes/requirements. We want to take this into account. We are approachable and willing to take a critical look at existing privileges/hierarchies for people who are affected by racism or ableism – or who bring in other perspectives that are currently underrepresented in our group.
