Summer University: Oasis Festival 2023
Summer University: Oasis Festival 2023Oasis Cooperative - Apr 21, 2023
The Oasis Festival is the big annual event for French school children.
Hundreds of people already living in the oasis or wishing to live there meet there to share their experiences, their successes, their discouragements, their dreams... It is also an opportunity for a wider audience to discover this way of life. .
This year, the Oasis Festival will take place from August 23 to 27 at the ecovillage of Sainte-Camelle (Ariège) and will take the form of a summer university.
The objective will be to explore the political, cultural, social and economic dimensions of life in the school, through testimonies of inhabitants and inhabitants of schoolchildren but also of sociologists, philosophers, economists and artists able to answer to this question :
How are oases laboratories for experimenting with new ways of socializing together?
During this event, which is aimed at 500 participants, various formats will be offered: conferences, round tables, workshops, mini-trainings and visits and presentations of Oasis.
All this in a festive and family atmosphere!

Mutual aid between neighbours, a world of forgotten rituals
Reporterre - Jul 4, 2022
Each month, our columnist meets her neighbors for a day to help one of them. Moving, building site, cutting wood… this mutual aid is common in the world. In France, it has no name.
With a group of neighbors, for more than ten years, we meet one day a month to give a hand to one or one of us. It can be anything: evacuating rubble, insulating attics, moving, clearing land, laying tiles, plastering walls, stripping a floor, repairing a car.
“This form of exchange between households, a common practice among the Adivasi, is called madaïti (“help”). The Adivasi help each other build their homes, sow their fields, harvest each other's crops without being paid—knowing only that their goodwill will be returned to them when they need it. At the end of the day, the home that hosted the worksite always organizes a party as a sign of gratitude for this solidarity. »
