RE Switzerland Summer School

Rethink Economics

May 18, 2026 - Creating a Care-Centered Economy           Join us for a week of critical exchange, fresh perspectives, and collective learning in the Swiss Alps. At this year’s Rethinking Economics Summer School Switzerland, we critically examine how hegemonic economic structures are reproduced. In response, we propose care as an organising principle of an alternative economic system. How can we collectively build power to reorganise economies so they sustain people, communities, and ecosystems? Whether you’re deeply engaged or just curious, coming from economics, activism, the arts, or any other field, this space is for you.

The event concludes with an Apéro. See you there!
