We prep — but in solidarity!

At Kollapscamp we learn with and from each other how to deal with crises in communities and meet catastrophes with collective solidarity.

Together we can achieve a lot — and at the camp we find out how! As the camp is not fully accessible, please contact us if you need assistance or aids.

The focus this year is on networking. We want to give impetus to the building of regional and thematic networks.

The programme covers three areas:

Understanding

Planetary boundaries · Tipping points · Realistic scenarios · Collapse dynamics · Colonial continuities · Learning from historical experience

Processing

Space for grief · De-escalation · Psychosocial techniques · Group dynamics

Preparing

Provisioning · First aid · Self-defence · Radio communication · Simulations

Why we act now

Existing systems are already unstable or reaching their limits, and crises and catastrophes are increasing. The compulsion for growth and the promise of eternal progress through technology no longer hold. We see:

Instead of suppressing these realities, we rely on solidarity-based preparation. We do not view collapse as an apocalyptic end, but as a steady increase in crises and catastrophes. Yet even where catastrophes can no longer be prevented, we want to stand for justice and reduce suffering.

No space for discrimination

We reject racism, queerphobia, ableism and every other form of discrimination. We do not want prepping at others' expense and do not cooperate with people or groups whose strategies are based on the devaluation or disadvantaging of others.

We have an awareness team. Discrimination, violence and boundary-violating behaviour have no place here.
