🌱 Submit Your Challenge to the SoilTribes Bootcamp

Do you face a soil-related dilemma that needs attention, creativity, and collective action?
Are you working in a territory where land, policy, or ecological justice are at stake?
Do you have an idea that could grow into a replicable solution with the right support?

This is your opportunity.

The SoilTribes Bootcamp brings together challenge-holders from across Europe to co-design practical, democratic responses to the soil crisis. We invite members of our Community of Practice (CoP) to submit grounded, real-world challenges that address key priorities like soil democracy, territorial justice, commons stewardship, or regenerative transitions.

If selected, you’ll:

  • Participate in Bootcamp 1 (7,8 of October 2025), with all travel and accommodation costs covered

  • Collaborate with cross-sector teams to prototype responses

  • Be eligible for €5,000 in production support and participation in Bootcamps 2 and 3

⏳Deadline to submit your challenge: August 3d, 2025
 📥 Only CoP members can submit —join here if you're not yet part of the network.
