Introducing EYFA Degree Zero 0°

European Youth for(est) Action, EYFA, is an ever changing Non Governmental Organization a self defining network of people and projects working for social and environmental justice. For around 14 years now, EYFA has been a platform for a full range of projects, from sustainable and alternative ways of living and working, to cultural activism and alternative media. EYFA is build on and changes through non-hierarchical consensus decision making.

Degree Zero 0° is, since November 1999, the cultural expression of EYFA, a network of activists, artists and independent media that integrates social and environmental analysis with community activism and artistic practices. Degree Zero has been organizing Political Art events (Rome 200, before the IMF/WB meeting in Prague and in The Hague during COP6, together with the Rising Tide coalition ) to show the possibilities of cultural and interdisciplinary connections not rooted in homogeneity and hegemony.

Our aims are:

• To become more than a demand acceptable to the system by questioning the essential relationships on which integrated world capitalism is based
• To make connections between different struggles, different examinations into the relationships within society, and lift each other out of their limited sphere and show that these struggle are profoundly interrelated. To remain multi-centered, diverse and non hierarchical.
• To produce our own axes of reference and establish underground connections amongst ourselves, unelectable on the dominant coordinates
• To take hold of means of communication (direct action, performance art, theater, publications etc.), new technologies (audio, video, internet etc.), and apply them, that would lead to a real reactivating of collective sensibility and intelligence.
